Jamar Taylor..100% healthy.. And ready to be a bad ass.

If Jamar Taylor stays healthy and plays up to the expectations we had when we were excited about drafting him - and Finnegan is relegated to 3rd CB, then this defense will finally live up to it's potential.

Hmm, seems like we have to many Cb's, JT has nice size let us see if he can stay healthy

Have to think we will see a surprise cut out of the group, or a position switch

I was appalled that our rookies had the 3rd fewest snaps in the NFL last year, than completely flummoxed by the fact that Denver and Seattle had the top two spots. Wow.

I sure hope he is healthy and ready to compete. We need him.

Nope. You need 5. We have 5 counting Aikens.

Why were you "appalled?" Rookies rarely contribute to the level of quality veterans. You draft rookies for a career, not a season.

taylor sure has talked a lot the last few weeks, I'm excited for him and hope he backs it up

Finnegan, Grimes, Wilson, Davis, Taylor, Aikens

Jimmy Wilson quietly had a great yr last season

Rotoworld mentions he will be kept at s and nickel cb

I didn't understand the Walt Aikens pick for this very reason..dude has to make the team or what a waste of a resource.

I'm not sure you can just chalk up Finnegan, Taylor or Davis as locks to be anything special just yet - especially the latter two. Again though, Walt Aikens was recruited and played as a FS his year at Illinois. Just saying.

Suspect Wilson goes to b/u S and some nickel Cb duty, he does offer lots of flexibility that way.

What would be helpful is if one of those Cb's can also handle returner duties

IIRC..didn't aikens return kicks?

Wilson is listed as a safety on the depth chart. There is room for them all.
