Andy D's 2nd annual Super-Mega, 3 Round, Post-Combine, (1 Viewer)

[Andy Dufresne]

Jacksonville cut Lamont Thompson. That leaves Reggie Nelson, Gerald Sensebaugh, and something named Jamaal Fudge at safety.

That has to mean that they're either planning on playing Drayton Florence at safety or angling to take Kenny Phillips/Reggie Smith/Darkhorse.

Right?

Florence stays at corner, Brian Williams plays FS. He's good there. I think the DL is priority with Jax. Stroud gone, Spicer/Heyward not good enough. Other than the DL they seem like a team in position to take bpa anywhere but RB.

Brian Williams plays safety? Huh. I didn't know that.I keep thinking Quintin Groves should be their guy.

My phrasing was bad. I was guessing on Williams, not stating a fact, but I did pick up the comment on their team page at USA Today, which to me is like staying in a Holiday Inn. I still think Groves should go much sooner. I'm still not convinced Gholston is the better player, but yeah, great target for Jax if current projections are at all accurate.

There's been talk of Brian Williams sliding to SS. In fact, in a recent article (Times Union perhaps?) Drayton Florence indicated that they plan to move Brian Williams to SS.

If Harvey's gone, I hope the Vikings are thinking Groves, unless one of the offensive tackles fall.There are rumblings that the Vikes want to move either up or down. If they move up, it's likely for Harvey, although I wouldn't mind if they traded up for Albert either. If they move down, it would likely be to target someone like Cherilus.

Chiefs' Allen talking with Vikings, Bucs

Jared Allen's days with the Chiefs appear to be numbered.

Allen told FOXSports.com that the Vikings and Buccaneers have held trade talks with the Chiefs and he anticipates a deal will get done prior to next week's draft.

"It's a situation that works out best for both sides," Allen told FOXSports.com. "I can go to a team that is competing for a championship right now. The Chiefs can get valuable draft picks to rebuild with."

Allen said he had a visit set up with the Vikings this weekend in Minnesota and is tentatively scheduled to meet with Tampa Bay next week as well.

The Pro Bowl defensive end is the Chiefs' franchise player, but re-signing in Kansas City will be a problem as the team is looking to stockpile draft picks.

Allen said the two sticking points are working out terms of a deal with a new team and the Chiefs agreeing to compensation for a trade. A package of first- and second-round picks or one of first- and third-round picks in the upcoming draft have been discussed as possible terms. It's unclear at this point what it will take to get the deal done.

Allen, a four-year veteran, led the NFL in sacks in 2007 with 15.5 and has 13 forced fumbles in the past three seasons.

Brian Williams plays safety? Huh. I didn't know that.

The talk this off-season was that Williams was better suited to be a FS than a CB. However, the move is just speculation at this point. Link

Defensive backs— CB Brian Williams was having a great year until some late-season coverage troubles. Williams is one of the most physical corners in the game and is solid in run-support. Safety Reggie Nelson has major coverage ability and athleticism but Nelson is better in coverage than he is in run-support and that begs the question: [b]Will Nelson be moved to cornerback and Williams to safety?
