Position Battles: Defensive Back

[Fountain City Blues]

Given the Chiefs have sometimes move safeties and CB's back and forth in games, and the flexibility of the 3 DB's they drafted this year, I decided to combine the two. Flemming is being moved to safety for whatever it is worth.

Incumbents:

Marcus Peters
Steven Nelson
Phillip Gaines
Marcus Cooper
Eric Berry
Ron Parker
Daniel Sorenson
Jamell Flemming

Draftees:

3rd: Kei'Varae Russell
4th: Eric Murray
6th: D.J. White

UFA's/Non-Vets:

Keith Lewis
Shak Randolph
Vernon Harris
Tre Jones

Vernon Harris was absent, but his school is on the quarters system until June 12th per Terez Taylor.

Marcus Cooper getting some looks at safety.

I'd imagine the idea is going to be:

#1 CB Marcus Peters
#2 CB Phillip Gaines
#3 CB Steven Nelson
#4 CB Kei'Varae Russell
#5 CB Eric Murray

FS Eric Berry/Sorenson/Cooper
SS Ron Parker/Cooper/White

Not a fan of Flemming

CB 2-5 spots could go in any direction.

My guess is probably the same for the most part except I have White and Murray flip flopped for the safety swap:

#1 CB Marcus Peters
#2 CB Phillip Gaines
#3 CB Steven Nelson
#4 CB Kei'Varae Russell
#5 CB D.J. White

FS: Eric Berry/Sorenson/Cooper
SS: Ron Parker/Cooper/Murray

Lot of chatter about Nelson as late. Maclin claimed he had gained weight this offseason, yesterday.

OTA warrior Steven Nelson...

Hopefully we can get some word on Kei'Varae now that he is signed.
