For the last two weeks, NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock has been breaking down each of the positions in the draft for the Daily News. In today’s final breakdown, he looks at the safeties:

SAFETY

THE BEST

Kenny Vaccaro, Texas (6-0, 214)

40-time: 4.59

225-bench: 15 reps

Vertical Jump: 38.0 inches

Arms: 32 3/4 inches

Projected Round: 1

Mayock: "This is the deepest safety class I’ve seen in a long time and Vaccaro is the best of the group. He should go in the top 20 He came down and played over the slot. He’s quick-footed. He will tackle. It’s hard to watch his tape this year because he’s hardly ever in a deep half or deep third (coverage). But you can go back to his junior year tape and see a bunch of that. He didn’t run well at the combine, but to me, he’s plenty fast enough."
