Today I wanted to look at safety prospects in the upcoming draft, a position that the Pittsburgh Steelers could be looking to upgrade/add depth to. The graph below uses their 2022 PFF Grade and their current rank on PFF’s Big Board that updates through the draft process:
The top overall player on PFF’s current board at the position is Alabama safety Brian Branch at number 14, who saw an increased workload each of the last three years (768, 624, 290), and primarily played in the slot (569, 411, 202) along with 100+ the last two seasons in the box.
