It's not necessarily a huge slight depending on who's ahead of him. Reed, that would be weak, he's not the player he once was. Eric Weddle or Jarius Byrd I wouldn't totally agree with, but I'd understand, those two are fantastic players and the best Safety in the league is undoubtedly one of those three.
I do think its ET, but Byrd doesn't get enough attention (you think our players get slighted for playing on the West Coast, try playing in Buffalo lol).
