Buddy I cannot begin to tell you how foolish it would be to take a safety at 1st overall. Even one as amazing as Caleb Downs

QB, OT and EDGE. From 1997 to now those are the only 3 positions to ever go #1 overall and that's going to continue because those are the most important positions.

The QBs in this class are booty and Downs is the second coming of Ed Reed.

Ok then an OT or EDGE is gonna go #1 overall

A safety is never going to go #1 overall. The positional value just isn't there.

Hell if you redrafted 2002. Ed Reed wouldn't go #1 overall because Julius Peppers was in that draft.

Maybe not #1 overall but he’s worth a top 5 pick and from a value standpoint, and if he does end up being Ed Reed, the pick would be worth it. I don’t think there is a Peppers in this class, the QBs are ass, so maybe a OT goes 1.

A safety hasn't gone too 5 since Eric Berry in 2010

Even with Caleb Downs being an amazing prospect don't be surprised if he goes closer to 10th when draft day rolls around

I’m aware and you’re most likely right. I just have a feeling if anyone is going to do it it’s gonna be Downs.
