PFF - Safeties

We know our defense is more talented than "worst defense in the history of the league," we just need a coach who can utilize each player the right way. Coaching matters.

How many first-round picks do we have on offense? That's right, Mark Ingram.

How many first-round picks do we have on defense? I count 7 (Smith, Bunkley, Ellis, Jordan, Vilma, PRob, and Jenkins). They're not all "busts." Vilma and Smith are old, and Bunkley was a FA acquisition, but I think the talent to be above-average on defense is there. It was only 2 seasons ago when pretty much those same guys were on the 4th-ranked defense in the league.
