Slime is the most talented CB we have on the roster. I want to see him lock down a starting spot.

Love em, but that aint happening. I’m just glad he stayed, because he will def be one of the first 11 next year after a few of those guys leave. I’m sure he knows that, or at least it will be his job to lose and the competition will be good. Plus, I’m $ure we are taking care of him.

I don't know. That kid just looks different. I did not watch much tape on him coming out of HS. When I saw him in that Playoff game I was surprised at how big, tall and long he was. The question is can he make plays on the ball. That is something we were lacking at CB last season.

We have some dudes on defense. Mario has recruited an elite DL and I don’t like throwing that word around. We need an LB to step up as well as a corner. Lucas looks really good at times but at other times looks stiff for a CB. I like OJ and O’Connor but need one more to step up.

Jaboree Antoine is that guy. Hopefully he can stay healthy this offseason. He has the skills to be a really good one. I agree on Lucas and I don't think it's a reach to say that he may be better suited to Nickel.

I agree with this. I see Antoine making a huge leap this year and he may in fact end up as a starting CB if Lucas gets moved to Nickel but I don't see that happening. That competition at Nickel will tell us a ton about the defense as there are quite a few players who could be a great fit there.

My guy named the entire defense lol..but id have lowe #1 too i think he may end up as our best overall edge by the end of the year

If scott takes that junior leap that would raise our ceiling on defense

DT 3 & 4 is something to watch too. I want to see what we got with carter and davis

He doesn’t fit your criteria but Dunnigan is who im thinking can start as a freshman on defense. So if he’s good enough to be at strong safety then how does nickel play out

I absolutely agree with all your points. In an early draft I had written that the list was in no particular order but I erased that without putting it back when I began to edit lol. I concur that Lowe is a great #1 though. When I was thinking about my criteria I had decided not to include any true freshmen because they are so difficult to project/predict without seeing them on this level first so I decided not to include any freshmen until I do another similar post pre fall camp. I do agree however that JJ Dunnigan is a very intriguing prospect. You are also quite right about DT 3 and 4. That may have been a huge oversight on my part but I decided to see how they do in spring first.
