Dolphins sign Saints FA LB Willie Gay Jr. to 1-year deal

In his latest mock, Daniel Jeremiah has us picking Jihaad Campbell.

Not as far fetched as most would think. It all depends on who's available. But it would be a good pick.

When you pick that early, you need to grab a difference maker. Jihaad Campbell is a guy you will your defence around. He will be the quarterback of the unit.

I am not defending or against this as a possible pick. Just food for thought.

It's a particularly interesting pick in our new scheme because that Slot CB position is often called the "Star" position because it's used to move all over the field and sometimes play as a pseudo LB. It's a position where you need a guy to make plays and getting the best guy available at that position would make a lot of sense. I would really like to see Taylor moved back to the slot because I don't think he has played well as an outside CB, but maybe Staley thinks he a fit outside in his scheme and maybe he doesn't think he's a fit in the Slot? Although we do know that the Saints tried to sign a starting outside CB in free agency, so that would indicate to me that they see either Taylor or Kool-Aid moving to the Slot.
