Best Slot DBs ?

Marcus Jones is getting a lot of interest on here. I like his KR/PR abilities, but it does raise a good question. Who are the best slot DBs in this draft? Specifically, who are the best safeties that can play slot?

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of getting a safety that can legit drop down into the slot at 61. If Ward goes down with an injury, this team is hurting. And it certainly would hurt to groom a future FS.

Versatility would be ideal for the Niners first DB pick. After reviewing most of the safeties this year, Dax Hill is really the ideal fit, unfortunately, unless the Niners trade up, he'll be long gone.

I'm zeroing in on Cam Taylor-Britt.
40: 4.38
3 cone: 6.93
Shuttle: 4.13

CTB is a swiss army knife DB that could rotate between covering slot WR, 2 high, or single high safety AND special team.

Pairing him with Ward in 2 deep would be a little under-sized, but it gives the Niners a potential long term replacement at FS, and increases their depth at CB.
