This draft is top-heavy with talented edge pass-rushers, including Clemson’s Vic Beasley, Florida’s Dante Fowler, Missouri’s Shane Ray and Nebraska’s Randy Gregory.
So who is the safety pick from this group?
“I think when you look at Dante Fowler, I believe he’s going to be a better pro than he was in college,” said former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network. “I know the production doesn’t blow you away, but he was asked to do a lot of different things at Florida. The more you watch all the edge rushers in this draft, Fowler to me just seems like the safest one of the entire bunch.”
Fowler, a St. Petersburg-native, is 6-3, 261 with 4.6 speed.
