How do yall see the secondary shaping up next season?

Assuming Simon returns, our top three corners from this season will all be back and Mills and Collins will only be sophomores. What are yalls expectations for Thomas and Raymond? I am excited to see Thomas play. Does Kavarah Holmes stay at corner? Does anyone know by chance how his development has gone this season? Same goes for the aforementioned redshirting freshmen.

Hopefully Reid returns, but theres a good chance he heads to the league...he has to be close to finishing his degree already too. Loston will hopefully have a very strong senior campaign and help lead the group of dbacks. From the 2011 class Martin and Eugene helped provide some depth this year along with 2012 signees Thompson and Sandolph. Can anyone specify which safety position these guys have been playing/where they will be playing next year. I think Martin has been filling in behind Reid. Eugene is kinda a hybrid dback and can play anywhere back there. What about the true freshmen?
Who starts next to Loston next year? Martin? Thompson will be in the mix as well as the others.

Some true freshmen will compete for pt next season as well like Tre White, and maybe Ricky Jefferson, Rashard Robinson, Cutrer, etc (I know we havent even hit signing day yet though, nothings a guarantee)

2013 DBs >>>>>2012

Collins and Mills at CB

Loston and Martin at safety. Thompson as back up.

Eugene at nickel.

I love Eric Reid and everything he's done, but Martin will be special. It seems like every time he stepped on the field, he made a big play.

I can see one of the redshirts or true freshman getting some major PT next year. Maybe Dwayne Thomas?

If we get Willis, I could see him and definately White in the rotation. Sandolf came on late in the year at special teams, too, so he has to be in the discussion. Also, heard Raymond and Holmes have serious speed, but don't know how they are developing...just adding to the projected guys...

Simon
Mills
Collins
Thomas
Raymond
Holmes
White
Brazil (maybe)
Jefferson (probably)
Robinson

(Reid)
Loston
Martin
Eugene
Thompson
Sandolph
Cutrer


Maybe one of the young corners that has range and some size could move to safety, especially if they struggle at corner. Also a good chance we get another db commit, and there is a slight chance Diarse plays in the secondary.

I'm really starting to lean on Reid being back. He is projected to be a second round pick but has first round talent so with another year under his belt, he could be a top 15 type of guy (remember LaRon landry?)

Having said that I am a fan of Martin and Thompson apparently has been looking very good to the coaches. Just like D-Line, DB's will see some freshman play next season White, Holmes and hopefully Willis
