You're right, better pass rush wouldn't hurt a thing.  However, if you're playing maximize the defensive roster on a budget, top Safeties still cost less than top edge rushers.

The old saying is that to be good on defense, you need to be strong up the middle.  Meaning good DTs, strong LBs, and athletic, hard-nosed Safeties.  It still rings true today, and consequently those positions are cheaper to have "good" at than edge rushers and "lock down" CBs.
