You know what? Ade really looks like he has a legitimate shot at making the roster, not just the practice squad, and he could play a significant role in the nickel and dime packages this year. Behind Smoot and Springs, I would rank the other corners:
3. Bauman
4. Jimoh
5. Wilds
6. Ralph Brown
7. Rufus Brown
8. Michael Hall
9. Ryan Clark
The jury is clearly out on Walt Harris, as he has been unable to practice. An interesting thing to remember about him, though, is that he was signed to a contract that was conditional upon him making a full recovery from his knee surgery. If he isn't cleared to play by the last round of roster cuts, he could very well be released, and I don't think it would have any negative cap implications.
We still have to see these guys play through the rest of camp and the preseason games, but I would put good money on Jimoh and Wilds still being there when the dust settles on the final roster in September. Both of those guys look like they could turn into very good corners with the coaching that's available to them now. They've looked pretty good in practice so far.
