Just because I want to win now doesn't mean that my defense can't have young players.
As we have seen for years with the Ravens and Steelers, having an impact safety can take a good defense to an elite level.
ROUND 5
PICK 103
Kam Chancellor - SS
Kam Chancellor is a sophomore who is already proving he has the capabilities to be an elite Strong Safety. Dude is big for a safety at 6'3 230 lbs, he can cover good ground and seems to have the skills to do it all. He was relied on a lot for Seattle, making almost 100 tackles this season. AdvancedNFL had him as their highest rated safety this season in WPA and EPA/Game by 20% over their second rated safety.
He's 24 years old, has already made big improvements in his first year as a full-time starter. He has room to improve, but can also make a great positive impact on my team this year, as we're trying to win now.
I now have a dominant NT, the game's best edge rusher and ILB, a top 5 CB, and a big tough dude playing SS.
GL elite QB's of the NFL.
Team so far:
OLB DeMarcus Ware
ILB Patrick Willis
CB Johnathan Joseph
NT Vince Wilfork
SS Kam Chancellor
