I think you make some strong points. I would say that those sack numbers are kinda wishy washy, because you look at a team like Denver, and they don't rack up a lot of sacks but they definitely get in the backfield and wreck a lot of havoc. I bet if you looked a pure QB pressures they'd be up there.
My only argument would be, that Herm has a pretty good track record of drafting safeties in the later rounds. In New York last year they had two middle round picks with a combined 1 year previous experience starting. And they didn't do a bad job. I'd probably take Erik Coleman over Greg Wesley... he started as a rookie on a pretty good defense that almost carried them to the AFC title game. Then last year Kerry Rhodes started pretty much the whole year alongside him.
We do have a coach who can evaluate DB's pretty well, maybe we should use that to our advantage and let him steal somebody in the later rounds. I don't know, I get the feeling that there are going to be some good DB's too tough to pass up at our pick though.
