CB #3 - Greg Junior - done well in camp, ran with the 1's, showed a nose for the ball on both defense and ST's making big plays around turnovers! He's an incredible athlete from a lower division school and the game is slowing down for him.
CB #4 - Tre Herndon - vet who knows all 3 spots and can help diffuse knowledge in a young room. He's not the starter or even the nickel, but can be adequate if someone needs a breather or he has to spell for an injury; fine as depth.
CB #5 - Montaric Brown - flashed in camp so far; I really liked some of his tape at the end of last year. I think there's some things to build on.
CB #6 - Antonio Johnson - I think he plays a role as a "Big Nickel" who they're grooming to cover TE's and larger sized guys who line up in the slot to negate matchup problems. Might be inactive a lot or up on gameday depending on matchups.

It really depends on if they consider Johnson and Hallett safeties or CB's. I think they keep 6 CB's to start the year and could easily see them going younger and getting off Tre Herndon as he is what he is at this point and if you can get similar production for cheaper; not to mention on a rookie contract with more team control.

As for the Safeties I think they keep 5: Cisco, Jenkins, Daniel Thomas, Wingard, Antonio Johnson/Hallett
