The Safety position has become more and more important, therefore you don't find the talent we need in those late rounds. The position is "overvalued or overdrafted" similar to but not to the extent of the QB, CB, OLB/DE positions.
I like Parker but he is actually more of a crossover type that can and does go back and forth between S and CB which can help the defense hide some of its coverage schemes. He wasn't the starter at the beginning of last year for a reason.

Parker was a starter at safety week 1, but was forced to play nickel when Gaines went down. He played very well at safety in 2014 and that's where they intended on him playing when they re-signed him last offseason. I don't know what you're talking about.
