It’s February, meaning the NFL draft season is heating up. In just a few days time (February 24-March 1) the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine kicks off and then after that it’s just Pro Days and private workouts leading up to the NFL Draft in April. Before you know it, the Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the league will have made their draft selections. My how quickly time passes.
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves though, I thought it was as good a time as any to share with you my top-10 Positional Rankings for each group. As I continued to watch film and evaluate these prospects, expect these rankings to shift and evolve leading up to Draft Day.
Today, let’s take a look at the safety position.

It was OK until you added a player from Texas,
Their secondary was trash.
I think that had a lot more to do with the 3-3-5 scheme than the personnel.
I like Mckinney better than Delpit, and I like Dugger better than Winfield!! But the rest are in pretty much the right order!! This is my list…
1. Xavier Mckinney
2. Grant Delpit
3. Kyle Dugger
4. Antoine Winfield
5. Ashtyn Davis
6. Jeremy Chinn
7.Brandon Jones
8. Terrell Burgess
9. K’Von Wallace
10. Antoine Brooks
Like I said…. I’d switch the top 4 a little bit, but the bottom 6 are pretty much in the right order!!
