Safeties: 2026 Draft Class

Ike Larsen. That was a hot name 2 years ago but then he fell off a cliff.

I am totally with you on Dillon Thieneman, he plays with a lot of heart and with a non stop motor! In fact the Oregon Ducks TE is also a future NFL star!

Man could you imagine Tony Parrish on the 2023 49ers Super Bowl team? Every Super Bowl winning team has had a game changing Safety from Ed Reed to Rodney Harrison to CJ Gardner-Johnson to Nick Emmanwori. I can't wait to see the 9ers get a Safety like those mentioned.

You must not be Polynesian


2 time All-Pro and just turned 26 last month

He was a real liability in coverage. One f the most overrated players in recent history. If the team thought highly of him, they'd have paid him.

Yeah and the guys who replaced him are real upgrades in coverage lol. Weird to be overrated as a first team all pro and then what; be overrated again by being an all pro with the new team? They sure thought highly of him and made him the very first or second safety to be paid in free agency and I don't think the Broncos or its fan base have any complaints about the decision.

They thought highly of Aiyuk and paid him instead…….hows that working out for us?

If you think that guy is a game changing safety, I feel sorry for you. He's a decent strong safety who takes poor angles and is a bit slow to react. I remember having game changing safeties, and it has been awhile, especially at the FS position. Probably Merton Hanks long ago.

His contract says otherwise. 2 time all pro says otherwise.

He has 6 interceptions and 25 pass breakups and 325 tackles in 5 years.

Kid (just turned 25 years old) must be doing something right coming into the NFL as a 5th round pick.

The fact that his original team let him walk says even more. He was a liability in coverage, he allowed a 99.5 pass rating against him last year. He only averages four passes defended a year, and had only a 71 run defense grade and a 67 pass defense. He ranked 27th out of 32 starting at his position. I get it, you like him, maybe you're Polynesian, maybe you are just fondly remembering him with rose colored glasses, but the fact is he is a mediocre safety who has had one very good year followed by injury and reduced level of play.

His original team let everyone walk for salary cap purposes. His new team saw the same good player that his original team saw when they drafted him.

He's not a stat safety, but he is an all pro safety.
There are some good safeties available and we have action at the top available guy IMO
Don't sleep on Stukes, an older player but he's got Warner like leadership skills, was hugely praised by the entire Arizona locker room and coaching staff. Definitely someone that should be on the radar for tomorrow.

I'd be freaking ecstatic. I might have shot off to quickly in the shadow draft thread in saying I'd go EMW. Don't get me wrong I would still love the pick but as far as being a better fit for this team and what we need; Stukes fits that FS role like a glove. Mute point though cause I think they take one of the guards

I like it!
Stukes immediately moves to FS for us. Dont like him at 33 but at 58 or a trade back to 40ish I'll gladly take him.

AJ Haulcy and Keionte Scott will do just fine as well as both can immediately play FS

Would be the safe pick, but I think they're looking for another trade down or drafting a OG.

Toss in Bud Clark as well. I really think Morris loves Dukes or Clark.

Me too. Stukes and Clark would be perfect fits and close to what he took/had in ATL with Bowman and Watts
