Now if we’re talking about a corner I’ll concede coverage being most important but we’re not we’re taking about safety. But I’d take Delpit at 38.
In today's NFL, coverage is by far the most important skill.
There are very few times when a running back is running completely free and it's only the safety that can stop him. On the flip side, there's plenty of plays where a blown coverage or poor coverage by the safety lead to first downs and big plays.
