I don't get it, analytics GM who is supposed to understand positional value trades down massively and skips over an assumed generational safety, the best wr, best dt, and best QB in this draft to draft a safety and only accumulates a 3rd for next year?

I'm 100% fine with this pick (assuming Willis is still on the board at 34), but yeah the trade down was rough

A 3rd this year. 

Either way, this spot is exactly where this position should be valued.  Harrison Smith was taken at #29.  While it may not be a "sexy" pick, I like what I've seen and read about him thus far.  And those "best"s you speak of wouldn't be bests in any of the other drafts in the last 3 years.  I am hoping that this Georgia safety turns out better than the last one the VIkings drafted, who I had high hopes for...Greg Blue (I even had a sig of him in the old version of the Forum).

Trying to be positive,  but he has a ton of speed and isn't afraid to lower his shoulder and lay a hit. We definitely could use some speed on our defense, and Smith won't be here for ever. Cine is the heir to Smith. One of Booth or Gordon will be there for us tomorrow, and I would be fine with either of them.

Wasn't Booth talked about as an option if we had a small trade back?
