I would gladly take any of these guys, but agree that they probably won't make it to 21. Would probably have to go with one of the LBs since this is a deeper safety class. Although I'm a little leery of the LBs, as Smith reminds me a little of Keith Rivers (talented and productive in college, but a little undersized to shine in the NFL) and Edmunds of Vernon Gholston (off-the-charts athleticism but lacking in instincts). That's worst-case scenario, of course, not a prediction ....
The latest scuttlebutt is that Fitzpatrick may fall due to the "tweener" label, similar to Peppers last year. I think Fitzpatrick can play either FS or CB, though, and would love to have him on our team, as we really need a coverage safety. I see him as a bigger Earl Thomas (best case scenario ...).
Regardless, if any one of these guys are at 21 I think we have to take him.
