Who are some of the 'safe' picks in this year's draft?

I think Stedman Bailey is a safe pick for a good # 2 WR. He was a consistent producer in college with no major injuries (I think). He runs good routes, can block, has good hands and is a hard worker. Seems pretty safe to me as long as your expectations are not set too high.

Yup, I agree.

It's bc he's a safe pick that is forcing him down beyond the 2nd rd. the 1st and 2nd rds are for guys that are either raw or suppose to have high ceiling (still raw). Guys like Bailey and Woods whom have pretty much reach their ceiling are going to drop (2-4).

i think there are a ton of safe picks in this draft. the first 2 rounds are going to be full of them.

it all depends on what you're looking for. if you are looking for solid and reliable players and starters, yeah this draft is full of them. it just doesn't really have those super-elite players at the top end.

if you are looking for perennial all-pros, nah....there won't be much, but if you want those guys who will be counted on for years then you'll find a lot of them. those are the safe players I'm looking at.
