Give me the safety. One-handed interceptions sell jerseys, and I refuse to pretend that is not roster strategy.

Pay the pass rusher. Coverage eventually leaks, and pressure can end a play before anyone covers for four seconds.

Elite matters. A safety who changes pre-snap answers can raise the whole coverage unit; a good edge may win isolated snaps.

Front offices still choose the edge. Scarcity and trade value make that contract easier to defend inside the building.

Would you pay an elite safety before a good pass rusher?

Team-building orthodoxy says pay quarterback, tackle, receiver, corner, and edge before almost anyone else. But a versatile safety can disguise coverage, erase a tight end, fit the run, and clean up everyone else's mistakes. If the choice is an elite safety at the top of his market or a merely good edge defender for similar money, which contract helps a modern defense more?
