2023 NFL draft: Consensus big board top 10 safety rankings

The Seattle Seahawks may be the most loaded team in the league at the safety position, even with Jamal Adams stuck on the sidelines half the time. In Quandre Diggs they have their best ballhawk since Earl Thomas and with Ryan Neal (an RFA) they have a superb No. 3 option at this spot. Odds are Seattle won’t draft a safety this year, but we can never rule it out, especially since they met with one of the top-ranked safeties in the 2023 NFL draft at the combine this past weekend.

Here are the top 10 safeties in this class, according to the consensus big board.
