The NFL Network today conducted some analysis on Johnson with Mike Mayock, Charles Davis and Charley Casserly having input into his NFL prospects. Mayock thinks he can have a solid career without ever becoming an all-pro, whilst Casserly questions his lack of size but believes "overall you like him as a football player."
I believe Tim Ruskell is higher on current starting safeties Deon Grant and Brian Russell than perhaps some fans would like. It's not a great draft for safeties and highly popular prospects like Patrick Chung at Oregon are not great fits into a cover-2 scheme. If Seattle look to add some depth in the 2009 draft, look for Johnson to be a possibility in the mid rounds.

I think it is a good draft for safeties. There are quite a few who could have nice careers. It just lacks that star power at the top that a Taylor Mays would have brought. But, it is pretty rare that a top 10 worthy safety is out there anyway. Usually, there are only one or two even worth looking at, like last year. At least this year there is 6-8 decent players to choose from.
