NFL Free Agent Profile: Safety Julian Blackmon
The Denver Broncos have struggled to find consistent safety play post-Justin Simmons. They rolled with P.J. Locke, but he had a pretty bad season. According to Pro Football Focus, Locke graded 99th out of 170 safety grades recorded on coverage and 150th out of 170 in run defense. Not ideal.
And sure, we take PFF grades with a grain of salt, but when it aligns with what our eyeballs told us then you use it. Would a guy like Julian Blackmon help shore up the position?
