Harrison is too, but I think Saban is going to move towards having more long, rangy corners

Tony Conner, Rico McGraw & CJ Hampton were safety-type recruits that we have missed on over the past couple of cycles.
Edit: Don't get me wrong, Minkah was brought in as a possibly hybrid and Rico was being targeted for a similar role, but Tony and CJ were safeties all the way.
Now this may be a new perspective for Saban, especially with the success we are seeing, and with the shift away from traditional power sets, but I still think we target and recruit true safeties.
In hindsight, i think Mag or ABDIW mentioned it before but a guy like John Fulton might have seriously benefited from a similar move during his career.
