I think of Matt Elam more as a SS because he is such a great tackler and because he is 5-10.
Phillip Thomas, at 6-0, seems to be longer than Elam and he has exceptional ball skills. That's why I would prefer him at FS.
That said, I would gladly take either one of them.
I agree with you that the safety class is strong. I like all of the following safeties:
FS - Kenny Vaccaro, Phillip Thomas, David Amerson (I think he'll be a FS in the pros), Baccari Rambo, and Tony Jefferson.
SS - Matt Elam and Shawn Williams
I'm hopeful that we'll be able to draft one of these players.
