Which Detroit Lions SAF would you want for this season?

I think it's too early to see the 3rd thru 5 round rookies that beat out incumbent starters. I like NE Marte Mapu. Brian Branch of the Lions' 1st safety is probably high. Jammie Robinson if Jeremy Chinn is more big Nickel or both see the field. Chris Smith LVR. Antonio Johnson if he can beat Rashawn Jennings and love Andre Cisco. Sydney Brown Eagles lost the secondary player's 2nd safety was probably high. Camarillo Cornee on KC if good news teams got to play catchup. Brandon Hill if he wins Texans suck. It's more about reading camp news. Looking for nickel safety players to see the field?

I'm curious about whether you should be getting any New York Giants linebackers not named Bobby Okereke. I believe that because the Giants are investing so little into the inside linebacker position and they might give Xavier McKinney the green dot, he's one of the top safeties to pick up. I'll take your thoughts on that.
