Another reason why I thought going Saftey would have been a good choice... But im starting to love Harrell also, I just hope he doesn't turn into 1 of the busts (knocking on wood)...

I think some of it is that S isn't a huge priority. The ones that get taken in the 1st round are usually blue chip prospects--while teams will reach for need at other positions. There were only 19 safeties drafted in the 1st round.

Kind of interesting that the the first year Pro Bowl percentages for DTs is second behind safeties. I would have thought it wouldn't be that high.
