I think Bunkley will start the year at NT. Plus I see Tez being used as a Hybrid linebacker playing ILB and both outside spots. Finally I see P rob starting and Greer playing Nickel.

Bunkley will start at NT, Vilma/Hawthorne could go either way but I'm giving the nod to Vilma. And I have Vacarro replacing Jenkins.
That said, Hicks will see plenty of snaps as primary backup NT/DE, maybe eventually starting this season.
Hawthorne and Vilma will each certainly get a good amount of snaps no matter who starts, but I think Hawthorne also has value as a cover OLB(something I'm not sure Galette/Wilson can do).
Also see Galette/Wilson splitting a good bit of time. And like Hawthorne playing ILB and OLB, I think Wilson could also do that.
I can also see Vacarro being our primary nickel and playing SS meaning both Harper and Jenkins/IAQ could get a fair amount of playing time as all 3 rotate.
I think PRob may be screwed because White seems to fit the system more(being a more physical corner) and could move into the nickel role with Vacarro.
One last thing to add, Jenkins will be a run sub NT only against run heavy teams/teams with good RBs.

I think we are moving some guys to better fits for them, and i think the defense will improve because of this. What concerns me is lack of a game changer. There is not really a guy in that lineup i see dominating a game.

Jordan, Bunkley, Hicks
Coleman, Jenkins, Smith
or Johnson, or Hicks, Richardson
or Walker

I'm not a P Rob fan, I was selfishly hoping for us to get Tyrann Mathieu and play him at Nickelback haha

On WWL Thursday, Rob Ryan listed Will Smith as an OLB.
