Obi Melifonwu, our 15th ranked safety, is best suited to be a starter. We project he will end up with the Detroit Lions because they could use a player of this quality to play safety. The Lions currently have 3 healthy safetys, and none are rated better than Melifonwu.
The Lions currently have no safetys under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Melifonwu may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
