Not my point though.  When you simply say top 10, most people think about it as top 3rd, and/or relative to other positions.  ie Top 10 QB, Tight End.  The 9th best Running Back, although very good, is nowhere near elite.  Whereas, a top 10 safety (10 out of 64) is at or near elite status.

I just thought it deserved clarification.  Someone regarded as the 8th best Free Safety may very well be the 20th highest paid safety.
