IMO it's only depressing if your viewpoint is that the players involved aren't good enough. If they are all good and the coaches are giving them a fair shot, it's a good problem.
I think we keep 5 safeties, with one of them being Cam Lewis.
Hyde/Poyer/Rapp/Hamlim/Lewis
Word from camp says they are putting 3 safeties on the field often, so it would make sense to keep 5 with Lewis being so versatile
If we spent 2 3rds on a starter this year it wouldn't be a waste at all. I think people are suggesting you wait a little bit before taking extreme opinions. Might just be me though lol
