What a find Gipson has been. He's older (along with Ward), but I hope they can somehow bring both of them back as well as drafting a FS of the future. I know I'm asking for too much, but there is a security that Jimmie provided at FS. Let these two go at it in camp (along with the rookie) and may the best man win.

I have what may be an unpopular take. While Gipson has been solid and outperformed his expectations, I think his spot can be upgraded from an athleticism standpoint. It's not all about being athletic, otherwise TMoore would be starting, but I do think having two slow safeties in this coverage scheme can be exploited, and I'm not using this LVR game as evidence. This scheme requires safeties to cover WRs at times and Gipson is no longer a young guy. Bring him back as plan B, that's a sound plan. But if the team wants to continue this scheme, I think the they should make upgrading Gipson's spot a priority.

No doubt we should be looking for exactly that next year.

Ward should be prioritized as the re-sign if he'll be reasonable. Then absolutely use the first pick you have on a FS like Jay Ward.

Trying for an all-Ward backfield?

• This guy's thread is way too quiet. He's such a solid performer and helping the backfield figure things out. There's way too much pre-snap discussion from what I can see. Without this guy I think there be a lot more. Props to Gipson. Hope he gets paid.
