Re: Webb to safety?
I actually like the idea of moving Jimmy Smith to FS.He has yet to show the cover skills to be an effective CB in the NFL but he does possess the size and speed to develop into a quality FS.Do you really want your former 1st round pick that you are paying big money to as your nickelback?
CB Webb
CB Graham
FS Smith
SS Rhodes/Huff/Ihedigbo/Draft pick

Re: Webb to safety?
I don't understand why people are obsessed with this idea of converting cornerbacks to safety.
At least once a month I will hear someone who wants to convert X CB to FS.360 tag: Ahhhhhhhhnold

Re: Webb to safety?
When a team is paying a player first round money he needs to be on the field as much as possible.Jimmy Smith is currently the 3rd maybe 4th best CB on the team but he has the potential to be the best FS.He's also 6'2 and over 200lbs and built perfectly for the position.They may as well try to get him on the field so he can contribute full time.
A CB being converted to S?

Re: Webb to safety?
Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: Webb to safety?
Not really, we have been set with one of the safety spots for a decade. :)
And we used to be searching for starting CBs in the offseason (Foxworth, Carr, Rolle, Washington, etc) unlike this year, imo.
I guess I wasn't aware the suggestion occurred every year like it is occurring this offseason.
