PatPatPatSack Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 As for safeties....... Very few were ever drafted in the top 10 as you can see, let alone the one who is rated second by most. 717383[/snapback] Actually, looking at years 2005, and 2003 seem to defy your logic. The link is great, but the facts do not substantiate your argument.
Bill from NYC Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Actually, looking at years 2005, and 2003 seem to defy your logic. The link is great, but the facts do not substantiate your argument. 718283[/snapback] So are you telling me that 2 years out of the history of a long established sports league render my points as invalid? I will admit that it does seem that teams are placing higher value on safeties as of late on day 1 of the draft. At the same time, I make the case that blockers are more important to a football team than are safeties, and that guys who can block will always take priority over safeties by teams that win football games. A good comparison might be to examine records of the football teams who selected safeties in the top 10 as opposed to those who reached for safeties. Off the top of my head, I am seeing the Rams and the Ravens.
