Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 549248">McCarthy's recent comments about Hyde are reminiscent of his comments about Cobb last off season...he wants to find as many ways as possible to keep Hyde on the field.  I can't say I disagree.I would expect a majority of Hyde's snaps will be at safety assuming Heyward returns to form at slot and there's no injuries to Shields or Williams necessitating a shuffle.I would expect Thompson to draft somebody to compete for the 3rd. safety spot with Richardson; more a player-in-waiting or developmental guy than a guy expected to compete for a starting job right away.It seems to me a year premature to draft high for a safety.  Burnett needs to put together back-to-back s*cking seasons, coupled with reduced dead cap money in 2015, before writing him off.  Hyde looks promising in filling the other spot; I would not rule out his taking over the play calling eventually.Richardson gets spot duty like last year when a big, physical presence is needed situationally unless somebody beats him out.All in all, I have a hard time seeing Thompson going higher than the 3rd. round for a safety in this draft.</blockquote>
