Brian Branch seems like the top guy, though he ran just under 4.6 at the combine. He apparently did very well in every other way including the interviews.

I wonder if someone will draft Julius Brents as a safety also.

Brown / Skinner

No. 11 - Penn State S Ji'Ayir Brown | Top 30 Big Ten Football Players of the 2022 Season

Don't with Ji'Ayir Brown in the secondary.The Penn State safety is a nightmare for opposing QBs, and he checks in at No. 11 on the Countdown.#pen...

I see 2 Alabama safeties and I'm wondering why they got absolutely humiliated by Tennessee

I'm still amazed TCU beat Michigan.

Georgia showed why I should be.

BUT

I wear my purple proudly.

It's hard to know what the weak link is sometimes, too. They might be great strong safeties but not great free safeties, for example.

And finally, we have Jammie Robinson out of Florida State.

True, but when a Free Safety makes a mistake its 7 points.

Most of Brian Branch's value seems to be in the box. Arguably the best run defender in the whole draft at any position.

Branch is my first round defense guy I'd like for my team. Think Dallas is looking more Dak helper at 26.

And finally, we have Jay Ward out of LSU, Simms #5 Safety. This is my last "new NFL Draft prospect". Make sure to keep on posting and sharing your thoughts. We have done about 135 prospects.

Martin and Ward are safety projections from CB.

Trey Dean (Florida) is a solid prospect, early day 3?
