Pryor and Brooks would probably be our best bets among those listed, being free safeties. My favorite is Deone Bucannon; he's more of a strong safety.

Thats a little concerning because at least going in it seems like there hasn't been a highly regarded safety class for a couple years now. Though looking back last year was probably the first respectable class to come along since 2010 (Eric Berry and Earl Thomas) and before that 2007 (the year Landry was drafted).
To put it in perspective Scouts Inc has 11 players at Tackle this year with a 3rd round or better grade compared to just 5 safeties. Maybe not the best apples to oranges comparison but then again you usually play with 2 tackles and 2 safeties so might not be too crazy.
