The original poll published in the Roster Spots Fanpost indicated that the vast majority of us are worried that the team didn't gather any top-flight Safety prospects in the draft. Lets take an even closer look at that spot.

Miles seems to have the most potential to get into the rotation at safety. He started 3 years at UMass and was a tackling machine, without missing a game. The bio also says he was a 2009 pre-season consensus First Team All-American after his great junior campaign.
