I’m also interested to see how the lack of depth at LB and Corner shakes out. Also who steps into the Buffalo Nickel role…I’m hoping to see Collins resigned if it goes bad.

You know my stance on LB (
itsnotonlylackofdepthitslackofstarterswhatthehecka retheywaitingfor), but I don't think we're that short on CB. WJ3, Fuller, St Juste, Danny Johnson is a decent squad IMO, hopefully the 7th round pick Christian Holmes can contribute ?
Don't forget the so called Nickel CB can be a 3rd safety in a lot of cases (
or a "don't call him LB" in Collins' case), and with Curl, McCain, Reaves, Forrest and 4th round pick Percy Butler, I think it's safe to say we have decent depth at safety.
Overall, even if you need to have 4 clear starters in your outside CBs+Safeties, I think looking at the overall DB squad, rather than CBs and safeties separately, makes more sense with what NFL secondaries do nowadays.
