S: We have the obvious 4 locks.
ST's: We have 3 locks: Bethel, Davis and Jones (our returner).
CB: We COULD carry 5 corners in addition to our returner.
I don't think that we will be anywhere near set with the role of our corners for Game One. I think that there will be an extra CB on the 53-man roster, with one likely to be put on IR after the 53 man roster is set, or even a couple of weeks later. This player or players could return later in the season. We could even carry all the corners long-term.
In a way, we have this luxury because our usual STer at LB (now Wilson) is also a reasonable option at ILB. Consider STO King as a contrasting example in previous years. Also, our base is a Defensive Front Six, with 13 as an arguably sufficient number of roster positions. Finally, our safeties do a lot of LB-type work.
