2. Jaden Hicks, Washington State
6-2, 215. 4.5 40-yard dash (1.58 10-yard split)
Stout, physical safety who really excels playing up in the box and against the run. Was a really good blitzer at Washington State with 2.5 sacks last season. A former cornerback, he’s got the skills to cover tight ends and running backs, but his strength is playing in the box. His play style will make him a beast on special teams Day 1 in the NFL.
3. Javon Bullard, Georgia
5-10, 198. 4.47 40-yard dash (1.51 10-yard split)
A big-hitting safety with range and speed, Bullard played both safety and nickel in Kirby Smart’s defense. He didn’t allow a touchdown in his coverage area all last season, per Pro Football Focus. He doesn’t have elite size, but he makes up for it with toughness and speed. He’s got the potential to be a position-versatile player on defense.
4. Kamren Kinchens, Miami
5-11, 202. 4.6 40-yard dash (1.53 10-yard split)
Kinchens has a nose for the football. He compiled 11 interceptions and 22 passes defended over the last two seasons. He joined Ed Reed and Sean Taylor as the only Hurricanes in the last 25 years to record double-digit interceptions, per The Athletic. He doesn’t have elite traits, but neither did former Lions Pro Bowl safety Glover Quin, and Kinchens reminds me a lot of him.
