I'm also going to go with a safety for the same reasons as you, but I'm going to go with one with more experience.
Vonn Bell of Ohio State.
He's the best cover safety in this draft. He's a man-cover player and does it well. He can play zone. He's got good size at 5'11" 199 and long enough arms at over 32.5". 4.51 speed is adequate. Excellent vision, footwork, quickness, and ball skills.
His position coach at OSU has stated that he feels Vonn can play CB in the pros and that he "has that skillset."
He's that guy that can play in this scheme in a variety of ways. He can play single-high. He can cover the slot. He can cover outside. He's extremely versatile and has done it at OSU at a high level.
He could also replace Eric Berry IF those contract talks don't work out for the Chiefs.
I give my honorable mentions to Michael Thomas, Tyler Boyd, and Artie Burns.
