I know O said Fulton’s status is still “up in the air” but for the sake of this exercise let’s operate in faith that he will be good to go.

I feel like Vincent, Paris, Joseph and even perhaps Jacoby could all be swing players in terms of getting reps at both nickel/corner or nickel/safety.

Here’s my best stab, y’all help me out.

Cornerback: 1.) Greedy Williams, 1.) Kristian Fulton,
2.)Kary Vincent Jr 2.) Jontre Kirklin(underrated guy that I’m anticipating stepping up big) 3.) Kelvin Joseph

Nickel back: 1.) Kary Vincent Jr., 2.) Ed Paris? 3.) Kelvin Joseph? 4.) Jacoby?

Safety: 1.) John Battle, 1.) Grant Delpit, 2.) JaCoby Stevens, 2.) Eric Monroe, 3.) Ed Paris 3) Todd Harris

Just realized I forgot about Cam Lewis, perhaps he could be a nickel guy as well

Harris might also be in the mix at the nickel.

I want Eric Monroe to start over Battle he's just better in my opinion

That looks pretty good to me, especially with our front 7. Teams won't be able to run so we won't need the safeties up close.

It'll be fricked when we lose a couple of safeties to transfer in the offseason. Just watch.

I wouldn’t say “fricked.”

The only two I could see MAYBE seeking greener pastures are lewis and Monroe.

That’s the deepest position on the team aside from WR

Lots of guys transfer due to the log jam at the position usually. That’s not a problem this year.
