I realize the drugs with Rambo, but just wanted to see what everyone else was thinking by passing them up. A lot of teams passed on these guys round after round, and picked up much lower ranked safeties ahead of them. If we get "steals", I'd love it, but makes me wonder.

Good point and well done.
Maybe we should stop anointing our new safeties as gods until we've seen 'em play in the NFL.
