Each NFL team's personnel department was asked to name its top 10 safeties in order, and the players were ranked based on a 10-9-8-etc.-point basis. Some teams submitted 10 free safeties and 10 strong safeties. Thirty-five different players got at least one vote from the 22 teams that responded (10 teams didn't respond to the poll).

1. Roy Williams, 187 points (10 first-place votes)
2. Brian Dawkins, 150 (6)
3. Ed Reed, 133 (2)
4. Darren Sharper, 115 (2)
5. Lawyer Milloy, 101 (1)
6. Rodney Harrison, 89 (2)

Ugh Brock is ahead of Lynch???
 
Sean Taylor had a 1st place vote and he's never played a game (not saying I disagree, just thought it was funny, he might that good). Personally, I think Ed Reed is probably the best safety, even if he isn't as phisically talented as Roy Williams. Reed is a ball-hawk and he studies the game inside-out.

Sean Taylor probably the Redskins' 1st place vote. :lol:

I can't believe that Sammy Knight only got 2 votes. I know I'm probably a homer, but 2 votes???
 
Milloy is too high. He's lost a step and we upgraded our secondary by replacing him with Harrison. Still probably should be in the top 3rd of the list, but not 5th.

Brace yourself, here come the Bills fans into the thread!!
 
No way Roy Williams is ahead of Brian Dawkings and Ed Reeds.

I take Ed Reed every day of the week, with Williams a close second!
 
I'd rate Reed #1. Williams is also great but,I think Reed is the biggest difference maker at S in the league.
 
Knight should be a lot higher, and Marion should be a lot lower. Knight has been a big play safety for years and I'm pretty sure he is among the leaders in Interceptions in the past 5 years.
 
the only bad thing aboout night is speed, he can tackle well, he can hit damn well, he had keen instincts and he has good hands for a strong safety. brock has lost many steps but proceeds to go to the pro bowl... hmm... well one day bell will be on this list hehe
 
I like Dawkins and Reed better. All three play the run extremely well. But Roy Williams seems to struggle in coverage, whereas Dawkins and Reed are the very definition of ballhawks.

Link??
 
Thanks for the info.... Lawyer got a lot of respect. I don't give him as much but it's nice to know that the NFL still fears him. I just wish he could get his hands on more balls.
