Obi Melifonwu, our 104th ranked safety, is best suited to be a primary backup. We project he will end up with the Detroit Lions because they could use a player of this quality after losing Deshon Elliott for an extended period of time. The Lions currently have 4 healthy safetys, and 1 is rated better than Melifonwu: (Tracy Walker).
The Lions currently have no safetys under contract beyond the 2026 season, so Melifonwu might get longer than a one year deal with the team.
