Interesting philosophy they’ve gone after in this draft, and it’s reflected in who they’ve picked in FA, also.
They like tweeners who can have positional flexibility, Lassiter and option to play outside/inside, possibly also a fit at Safety, the safety they picked up later is another guy who can drop down into nickel, the developmental and ST LB they picked much later on also a converted safety, small LB/‘big nickel’ type. Reflects what they are doing with DT/DE’s on the line in FA, T2 who they took last year also undersized for the LB position, Jimmy Ward another who’s switch positions between corner and safety,
Whilst they have enough quality options battling it out for these positions in camp now, I have some reservation whether they have a quality #2 outside CB for the roster, something that only worsens at the thought of Stingley missing any time. That isn’t to disparage the Lassiter pick itself at all, you need a great nickel CB in the modern NFL, it’s practically a starting position nowadays, if you’ve got yourself a quality one in round 2 then that’s great.
