The Bears might have lucked out a little bit on the first night of the draft, with only two safeties getting selected, with Eric Berry going 5th to the Chiefs and Earl Thomas going to the Seahawks at #14. That leaves plenty of top choices still on the board. Here’s a list of the top safety prospects:
Mays, Taylor FS 6’3″ 230 Southern Cal
Allen, Nathaniel FS 6’0″ 207 South Florida
Burnett, Morgan SS 6’1″ 209 Georgia Tech
Jones, Chad FS 6’2″ 221 LSU
Wright, Major FS 5’11” 206 Florida
Jones, Reshad SS 6’1″ 214 Georgia
Asante, Larry SS 6’0″ 212 Nebraska
Ward, T.J. FS 5’10” 211 Oregon
Chancellor, Kam FS 6’3″ 231 Virginia Tech
Rolle, Myron SS 6’2″ 215 Florida State
Coleman, Kurt SS 5’10” 192 Ohio State
Church, Barry SS 6’1″ 222 Toledo
Stuckey, Darrell FS 5’11” 205 Kansas
Once you get below Major Wright, the choices get decidedly riskier as you go down, although Myron Rolle is an interesting prospect.
