Plus they have those two rookies from last year I think. Maybe one of them elevates themselves this summer. That's always a possibility. Gregory Junior and Montaric Brown. I think they're both on the active roster.

What makes you think Dean could come in and be our starting nickle corner?  Dude got burned alot at Florida, he's a safety if anything.  I wouldn't draft Dean in the 4th and I definitely wouldn't play him at corner

Riley Moss would be my first choice over Trey Dean III if given the option in RD4 or later. Here's a few articles on Dean though. Most places you look says he can play all over the place. He can play SS, Nickel-CB, rover-LB. If properly developed he could be a valuable, rotational player to this defense. 

He had his up's and down's (as most 4th RD projected or later players do), however, with that said, how was the Gators pass rush up front last season? Because on paper it looks like they were pretty weak overall with their front seven. I don't see anybody that jumps off the page at you in the sack column. 

His best graded performance was against Kentucky, which is supposed to have a 1st RD QB in Will Levis this year. His worst game was against LSU. Again, not surprising there. Especially if your front seven and base front four sucks at getting after the QB. Outside of Gervon Dexter, again, can't really name anybody else.
