Several depth receivers flashed big play ability despite the incumbent Jones looking like the best blocker.
He has a year of development on most of the others, so maybe they trust the staff to develop a guy with more upside?

The whole DB reserve and potential nickel cast is a bit of a cluster [BLEEP] , because every single player put some good stuff on tape and every single player put some BAD stuff on tape.  Bad stuff against backups for that matter.
I am generally very disappointed that we did so little to aid our nickel role. I see zero saviors on this roster. Maybe a developmental safety in there. Maybe Braswell could be the "small nickel" in time - but he a'int ready yet. Maybe Johnson could be the big nickel in time, but he's hurt and also very green.

Between Hallett, Junior, Brown, Johnson, Braswell, et al,  I just don't know where they are headed there.
Trust me, this is not an attempt at a victory lap because it sucks, but I predicted this would happen right after that draft when we didn't address nickel and couldn't trade back up.  Right now, it really looks like we are staring down the barrel of lots of easy completions to the slot receiver or TE this season.

I think they are both better than Lazard

lololol, everyone on this board said we needed a nickel.  It was no secret
