[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1029076, member: 12283"] I fundamentally disagree with you. You're right that things aren't static. And if there's a big swing back towards cover 1/3 this offseason, that will change the market. However, if the 2 high shell approach remains more common for now, it will make safeties cheaper to acquire and mean less serious competition for true post safeties. A safety's job changes dramatically in those coverages. How much field they are expected to protect is far and away the most important aspect of the position. Being asked to cover a deep quarter vs a third vs a half vs the whole field are huge differences. A player could easily be a good coverage safety in cover 4 or even cover 2 and yet have no ability to handle cover 1 responsibilities. It's that last point that I'm making. Being able to play single-high is the hardest/rarest aspect of safety play. Hence, it costs the most money. If you don't plan to use it, there's no sense paying for it, and by and large the 2 high teams don't. [/QUOTE]
