We have plenty of heavy hitting safeties on the roster, they work well as SS but we haven't had a true cover safety since Ed Reed. All of the popular safeties coming in to the draft like Jalen Ramsey and Deon Bush are raw heavy hitters. They've made some good interception's but quite a few of them were lucky and they missed a lot of opportunities looking for that big hit. Despite our need to bolster our backfield I dont think we should use a 1st rounder on any of the safeties. Take a look at Sterling Shepard WR out of OU. He reminds me of Steve Smith not only with his size but his tenacity, route running, and catching ability. People may not value him high enough for an early 1st round due to his size but I think that if we pair him with Breshad Perriman in the future, we will have an explosive vertical offense that will play to Flacco's strengths. With a high powered attack with addition of one player we can use more draft picks to bolster the defensive side of the ball.
