2011 NFL Draft: Top 10 Safety Prospects

The 2011 NFL Draft class of safeties isn't going to overwhelm anyone. There are several intriguing prospects in this year's draft, but overall the talent pool is pretty shallow. The consensus top safety in the draft is UCLA's Rahim Moore and he's projected to go in the second round.

While the top level talent is missing this year, there are a handful of players who may turn out to be solid NFL players.
