I didnt see where anyone else posted this so I figured I would. I liked the fact they mention the colts could be an option to grab him with Pagano as our coach and obviously how much he(pags) meant to the Ravens Defense. With Reed going into his 11th year, Id still love to have him on our team even if its only 1 or 2 years.

Not necessarily.  I think Bethea is a very underrated FS.  A regressed Reed is not necessarily better than a healthy Bethea

I was thinking more of moving Either Bethea or Reed over to SS, as in having one of those two at SS and the other FS, one hell of a safety combo I think

I see him retiring, especially if he wins a Super Bowl. Man I loved watching Ed Reed all these years. He's definitely one of the old school type defensive players. I know tons of Saints fans thinking we can land him, even if he goes into free agency I'm sure we'd pass him up and draft another bust Safety or corner like we have with Jenkins and Harper.

In that case, I think we would move Bethea to SS since Reed has become pretty injury prone.  But I think Bethea still works his craft best at FS.  Bethea is a very good tackler, but I'd like to keep him at FS.  He is too valuable to put him at the more physical SS position and risk injuries

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      I hope we’re not planning to play Blackmon at FS. He may have experience there but his worst football has been at FS. He’s by far a better SS.    I think Cross is best as Blackmons backup at SS. Hope Scott can play FS, then we’ll have to rely on Thomas as his backup. 🤢

      First, when I listened to Ballard on McAfee, I basically heard him say they're going to watch other teams sign veteran players, and they plan to roll with what they have. So that's what I expect.   Second, I think it's possible that people who talk about Cross and other players on the roster are overly critical. I guess we'll see.   Lastly, and this is more cynical on my part, I think the biggest problem with our pass coverage is the way the defense is called by Bradley. And that being the case, the most meaningful improvement will come from really good pass rush. So everyone is focused on who's playing corner and safety, and I'm more interested in what the defensive line does.

      Chad?   What does this even mean?   “Letting it go to waste like he did with Raimann”.      Can you elaborate please?   You lost me.

      I guess the simple reply is that whether you agree or not that those guys were starting level corners, they were not available last year. So watching Baker and Brown get torched and saying 'we went into the season with a bad secondary and we're doing it again!' is a misrepresentation, IMO.   If we were to go more in depth, I'd disagree with your characterization of Rodgers. I think he was a solid starting option, and should have been playing more even sooner. And it wasn't until after the draft last year that anyone knew he was in trouble. Flowers was unproven, but I think he was better than the players who had to replace him.    I agree with the last sentence. Assuming nothing drastic happens between now and the start of the season, I'd argue that this year's secondary should be better, just by virtue of the experience that players like Jones and Brents got last year, plus a hope for Flowers to return. And I think that's what Ballard and Co. are counting on. Whether we think that's the best strategy or not. I'd rather see them add a veteran, but I'm not going to harp on it endlessly, and I'll judge the plan on the results, not against my expectations.
