I just want to get insights from the experts.... Thanks.

My thoughts for FS are:

#1 Speed
#2 Agility
#3 Vision
#4 Jumping


My thoughts for SS are:

#1 Speed
#2 Agility
#3 Vision
#4 Tackling

edit:
subject should read FS/SS not FS/CB.

I'm going to assume that when you say FS you mean someone who plays large zones down field to prevent elusive runners from getting big yards and occasionally plays coverage and when you say SS you mean someone who plays medium zones on the strong side mostly to prevent runners but also the short passing game to TE/HB/FB

If that's so, I'd say:
FS-
1 speed
2 vision
3 agility
4 strength

SS-
1 speed
2 tackling
3 strength
4 vision

there's probably a reason agility isn't a major for a safety and that reason probably means agility isn't the second most important attribute for the position.

I find, especially with the FS, if you the vision is high enough he'll read the play early enough to get there with lower agility. Obviously agility can't be neglected, but it doesn't need to be one of his dominant attributes. My FS is built on speed and vision first, and then tackling and strength and agility are all about equal, give or take. Jumping's up there too, but hardly a safeties "top 4" attribute.

I like high agility on my FS, but it's not higher than Spd/Vis. It makes him break on run plays quicker and helps his open field tackling a lot. I definitely thing it's the 3rd most important attribute, followed by jumping or tackling . . . depending on what you're trying to do.
