Miami knew its safety room wasn’t championship-caliber after the departures of Kam Kinchens and James Williams to the NFL. So they went straight to the championship game to land Washington Huskies safety Mishael Powell. The 6’1, 210-pounder from Seattle (O’Dea) was a walk-on who chose Washington over offers from the Ivy League.

I fully agree he has a very specific persona he looks for at each position under each potential scheme, then works out from there. But he's made exceptions. Bain, Sagapolou, Gore, Cook, Lofton.

Lots of QB's left, so...I dunno...Cam might be the best coming into this season. He certainly should be top 10.
