There is nothing to suggest that JT Woods would have been available @#123. The safety class talent dropped off significantly after the late 3rd round safety picks of Nick Cross (3/32) and Kerby Joseph (3/33). Starting in round 4, teams began to reach for less-talented safeties... Butler, Belton, Turner-Yell, Anderson...
Instead of reaching for safeties (that would inhibit our ability maximize Derwin's talents) in the 4th round, we were able to choose RB Isaiah Spiller (great value pick).
With this strategy (Woods, Spiller) our defense took a huge step forward and our RB depth/versatility improved significantly. I'll take that strategy everyday; and twice on Sunday.
