2011 NFL Draft Positional Rankings: Safeties
By Editorial Staff
Here at NFLMocks we are continuing to preparations for the 2011 NFL Draft. We are flying through our Scouting Reports and have put out our 1st Mock Draft. Now we are ranking the top 5 draft eligible prospects at each position. These rankings help complement our Big Board but you will also find some players that are not on our Big Board. We are giving each player a NFL player comparison but I caution everyone to take those comparisons lightly. We hope that you use our rankings to help figure out who your team may target in the 2011 NFL Draft.
Top 5 Safeties

Thoughts:
The 2011 Safety class has a wide variety of talents. Some of the players have the ability to stop the run at a high level, while others are ball-hawks. The number one player on this list can do both, DeAndre McDaniel. DeAndre is a very unique prospect as he has tremendous ball skills and has the ability to make a jarring hit as well. Definitely the top Safety prospect this year. Deunta Williams comes in at number two because he has some of the same skills as McDaniel, just not at that level. Rahim Moore is the definition of a ball-hawking Safety, he will out work most WR in the air and come down with the ball. Mark Barron has a ton of ability and already showed he is a capable run stopper and effective on the blitz. Ahmad Black rounds out the group at 5. He is a very well rounded Safety that should climb this list over the course of the season.
