Position Grade: A
Very deep class, with many first and second round talent grades. There is a good chance we’ll see a team get a starting safety out of the 3rd or 4th round as well.

Further Analysis:
Had a tough time trying to sort this kind of talent out, and somehow came together with this list. Reshad Jones and Larry Asante might seem somewhat higher than what many have down on their lists, but this is another case where the values on #5 and 6 aren't much different than on #'s 8 and 9.

Feel free to leave any Safety-related comments here.
 
Surprised to see Burnett that low. I think he could sneak into the bottom of the first.

No. 1 & 2 are spot on. Mays had a solid off-season, but not enough to get him into the top 15.

Berry will be a perennial Pro Bowler and this could be the deepest class of safeties in recent memory and potentially for the future.
