Comments: All teams looking for corners, rejoice! This is the deepest position in this free agent class. It also has the most star power, and does not feature any significant talent drops, meaning if you miss out on one, you can aim a little lower and end up with a guy nearly as good. The top of this class is frightening, with no less than six top-twenty corners, including four top-ten guys of the pure shut down variety. The group is also noted for its overall youth. Outside of top corner Vincent, the top group are all relatively young and in their prime. With a position group this deep, it's possible a team could pick up even a decent quality third corner out of this unit.

Comments: Safety doesn't have the sheer star power or the depth of its partner corner position, but what does? The fact is, without the corner position, the safety position might have been a candidate for the strongest part of this class. Terrell, Darius and Dorsett are all top notch saefties who would start for any team in the league. What gives this position its strength, though, is that the next tier of players simply exist at a higher level than most of the other positions. Above average safeties can be found ten deep in this class, and the quality doesn't die away quickly, even after that.
