I can agree it's too early to definately eliminate positions, especially since trades, cuts, and free agent signings could change the roster before the draft.
An interesting comment Lance Zurlein made on his blog this week is that the league is moving toward interchangable safeties. I don't have the exact quote but it can't be hard to find.
By the way, I'm not saying I'm personally against drafting a superstar safety. I'm pretty much in favor of us adding a superstar at just about any position. I think without a doubt our greatest need right now is at DE, but not to the point of reaching for one.
If we go for a safety in the second or third round, or if we trade down in the first and take one, I won't automatically be opposed to it. I AM opposed to taking one at 15 though. I just don't see one good enough to take that early.
