That's a risk I'm willing to take. If you end up being right, fine, we'll still have a great guard. His upside is well worth the risk IMO.

For a guy playing center, yes, snapping the ball proficiently would be a main concern of mine.
And I don't know if he'll figure it out. I watched Florida's last game in 2010, and he was still screwing up the snap/handoff.
And as I stated, I don't think he's even the best guard in this draft. That honor would go to Rod Hudson of Florida State, who has also played some center in his career. I think Hudson would be a better fit for the zone scheme the Chiefs run anyway versus Pouncey, who's more of a mauler type.
It's not a bad pick if you think he can play the center spot. Not a great pick, but not bad. I think you can get a good center much later in the draft this year. Guys like Linnenkohl, Taylor, Barnes, Kirkpatrick, Baxter and Bartholomew would be nice fits for this system and have long term experience at the pivot.
