Michael Griffin and Kerry Rhodes I'd take over Collins, but after that I can't see anyone else. I do like Landry's upside. I see a big year coming from him so I'd probably take him on the projection that he'd breakout.

Overall I'd rate it like this

1. Ed Reed
2. Adrian Wilson
3. Troy Polamalu
4. Bob Sanders
5. Kerry Rhodes
6. Chris Hope
7. Michael Griffin
8. Nick Collins

Rhodes? Hope? No way!

Ed Reed is a monster. We should trade Rodgers for him. 🙂

I personally can't wait to see what Collins will do this year. I'm sure they'll have creative ways of utilizing him. I know that there's a decent amount of talent at safety going into this year, but I think Collins' Pro Bowl effort last year solidified a starting spot for him (or at least decent playing time).

When Collins gets the ball in his hands he's an absolute beast. Hopefully he can prove that last year's 7 interceptions weren't a fluke. Remember, he had three defensive touchdowns last year (lead the NFL) and his 295 interception return yards puts him at sixth ALL-TIME in that single season category -- only the likes of "Night Train" Lane, Deion Sanders and Ed Reed had more yards from interceptions.

I think Nick is dangerously fast for a safety and has great playmaking skills with the ball. I also think the rest of our defense is crafty for clearing lanes for him once he has the ball.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Well I can't be for sure but I think you could argue Collins between 5 and 8.

The four I'm not sure I'd put Collins ahead of is

1) Polamalu
2) Reed
3) Sanders (if healthy)
4) Oshiomogho Atogwe (okay he's team is bad... that doesn't mean he is... maybe I'm over rating him who knows but from what little I've seen he can be awesome)

Yeah, Oshiomogho Atogwe is quite a ball-hawking safety. He's very talented and takes great angles on his hits as well.

Nnamdi Asomugha is a corner for the Raiders. Probably the best in the league... but he plays for a team that I believe is worse than Detroit.

I think the former Bear, Mike Brown, is one of the better safeties in the league, but if a tumbleweed were to hit him in the elbow--he'd be out for two years. So I guess being brittle doesn't get you anywhere.
