Defense players shifting positions

I like what I've seen so far (I know it's only day 1 of fall camp), putting our slower but beefier db's (Rickey Jefferson, Corey thompson) and moving them to outside linebacker. Who else do you think gets shifted around? I see maybe Dwayne Thomas as well.

I think Thomas more then likely moves to safety because of how crowded corner is.

We are pretty crowded at safety as well, I think his best bet is linebacker, I see the possibility of him getting burned deep. He seems almost like a hybrid. Harry Coleman esqe

I really like putting C. Thompson, Jefferson and D. Thomas at OLB as that is a better fit for them in certain looks. I think Aranda will shift players around a lot. Against pass heavy teams we may need to see Eric Monroe or Xavier Lewis out there playing safety alongside Adam with Jefferson and Thompson rotating at OLB to be able to still have solid coverage for the intermediate routes.
I say this because OLB's like Bower, Washington, Key, Thorton etc. will be amazing edge rushers in this system but I am not sure how well they will be able to cover when offenses figure out how to pick up the blitz.
You then can add guys like Fulton, S. Smith and D. Jackson as an extra DB with 3 DLinemen. I am loving what I am seeing out of Aranda!!

Dwayne Thomas at OLB
You do realize Thomas is ~190#
He is a smallish safety. Needless to say if Thomas gets any significant pt at OLB, this season has gone to shite!
