It is notable that Wingard is ahead of Daniel Thomas on the depth chart though. 
The kid must be doing some good stuff in practices, as much as I've hated on his poor play previously.

I think Dewey > DT is valid. I did not mind Wingard's play last season. He has grown on me a little. I can't recall anything horrendous from last season (correct me if I am wrong). IDK about DT he seems unpolished to me. I remember towards the end of his rookie season I was hyped for him but that fizzled out a bit recently.

Wingard's coverage skills were so bad that when Cullen's scheme called for a single high safety, wingard had to line up 45 yards off the LOS in order to not get beat in coverage. 
He had zero chance of making any play at all other than being the last line of defense tackler on something that got past the rest of the secondary. 
Yes, some of that falls on the scheme - some falls on his inability - but most of it falls on the former coaches failing 2 ways. 
1 - they should not use him as a FS at all 
2 -  they should have used Cisco who has better coverage skill instead of the 2 year guy that had to line up 10 yards too deep 

When Cisco began getting reps late in the season the difference was readily apparent. 
Wingard also missed some open field tackles last season that drew lots of ire from fans.
