For those looking for a Cam Chancellor type safety, one guy who I really like that won't be a high draft pick, he might not be a draft pick at all, is Nick Williams from North Alabama. He is a former Georgia safety playing 3 years there before transferring to North Alabama. There doesn't seem to be any character issues behind the transfer, he simply thought it would be the best option for himself in terms of playing time and fit.
He's a big guy at 6'2" 222lbs and moves pretty well for his size. He isn't a deep CF safety but should excel as an in the box SS. Georgia tried using him as a LBer because of their depth at safety but that wasn't a great fit for him, but it shows his tackling and physicality that they would put him there. He is a fierce hitter that could add some attitude if he made the team. He also played a lot of special teams at Georgia so he could be a solid contributor or at least a decent camp body.
One concern though is his age. He played 3 years at Georgia between 2008-2010, redshirted at North Alabama in 2011 then missed 2012 with an injury. He came back and had a solid Senior season in 2013 but will be older that most of the other guys in the draft.
