"Purdue University strong safety Bernard Pollard, one of the top junior secondary players in the country, will forgo his final season of college eligibility to enter the 2006 NFL draft, ESPN.com has confirmed...
While scouts are precluded from addressing a prospect's potential until they officially file paperwork with the NFL and are cleared for the draft, the consensus is that Pollard will be an early-round selection. Some scouts surveyed on Monday evening by ESPN.com assessed that Pollard could be a first-round choice but also cautioned that the evaluation process is still in its early stages....
Scouts also like the fact that Pollard, while physically mature, is still young by NFL standards and won't turn 21 until next month."

DEPENDING on our draft position and who is available, I might consider taking this guy, but I don't know much about him. Would he be the highest rated safety in this draft?
