How I see the depth chart:
CB: Martel Hight/Tyson Russell/Taco Wright
CB: Kolbey Taylor/Truedell Berry/Jaylin Lackey
FS: CJ Taylor/Marlen Sewell/Steven Sannienola
SS: Dontae Carter/De'Rickey Wright/Jalen Gilbert
Comments:
- On the whole, I feel like the secondary is a good bit better. Now, this time last year, you had receivers running through the secondary like it wasn't there, and that ended up being a much bigger indictment on the DBs than it was a statement about their WR corps, but it was nothing like that this August. We'll see when they play someone else.
- Some of these competitions were close; I think Hight beats out Russell but I'm not sure. I think Sewell is second-team but Sannienola was out there a good bit also. I think Carter beat out De'Rickey Wright but wouldn't be shocked to see De'Rickey get the first start due to experience.
- I feel like Kolbey Taylor's a pretty nice upgrade at one of the corner spots. But it's hard to say until I see it against someone else.
- Watch out for Jaylin Lackey. I know he played really well when Billy and Joey were at practice (I didn't see as much) but I could see him passing Berry either when the depth chart comes out, or maybe within a few weeks.
