The last option at safety is a popular one, and that is converting a corner. Popular choices include Zach Bowman, Nathan Vasher, rookie DJ Moore, or Corey Graham.
Bowman or Vasher would be best suited to make the change. Both are excellent at reading QBs and reacting. They both have shown ball hawking abilities (admittedly, Bowman has only played one game) and it would allow another playmaker to get on the field. Although both players have shown to INJURY PRONE!
DJ Moore... to be honest, I just do not see what is so special about Moore. He is slower than the most corners and shorter than the rest of them. He is supposed to be a ballhawk, but I am a dubious observer at the moment. At least until proven otherwise.
Moving Corey Graham from corner to safety is just stupid in my opinion. He came in and played exceptional last season and he got better as the season progressed. With him and Peanut at corners, Vasher or Bowman at FS (the other would be an excellent choice for nickle) and Payne at the SS, we could be alright.
That said, having to take a player out of his natural position and teach him something new worries me. There will be a learning curve and it could be costly.
