Thomas played more like a 'money' LB/NB that plays in the box and matches up 1-on-1 vs a TE, RB or Slot player.
Agreed.
I agree with you that the safety class is strong. I like all of the following safeties:
I think Amerson has the skillset to be an NFL CB.
I like most of the S in the class tho. My favorite prospects are: Reid, Elam, Phillip Thomas, TJ McDonald, Swearinger, Duke Williams and Rashard Hall. I view those guys as making the easiest transition to NFL FS.
But I like these guys too: Vaccaro, Cyprien and Rambo but I view them more as SS types.

Funny you view Vaccaro, Cyprien, and Rambo more strong Safety. When Rambo is the best in this class playing one deep (FS), Vaccaro probably the most versatile safety, and Cyprien probably got the best read and react skills in this draft.
