[QUOTE="TJV, post: 552239, member: 4300"] IMO a truly "interchangeable safety" [I]would[/I] excel at both positions. The problem with that is [I]that[/I] guy is probably a pro bowler and finding one is difficult enough, finding two is damn near impossible. I don’t know who “the other guy” is but IMO both Collins and Butler qualify as that rare safety. But they’re few and far between. That’s why Capers’ talk about interchangeable safeties is odd to me. Burnett, MD Jennings, McMillian, Banjo, Richardson, Bush, and Peprah. That’s a list of the players the Packers have lined up at safety since Collins’ career ending injury. None are great at either spot and last season none were close to being good. That’s why it’s easy to say “interchangeable” safeties when Capers says it means ‘not good at either spot’. But ideally, having two truly interchangeable safeties would be fantastic. I don’t know which safeties in the draft are over-rated but I do know the Packers say they put a lot more stock on a player’s college career than combine numbers. [/QUOTE]
