Jones and Savage (nickel) should be locks to make the team. The list of possible players who will make the roster for cornerback depth is long including the following:

Montaric Brown
Tre Flowers
Christian Braswell
Erick Hallett
Greg Junior
De'Antre Prince
Tevaughn Campbell

That make 7 players vying for 2 spots at the most. I expect a very spirited competition, with the hope that a couple of the young players will clearly emerge as not only roster locks but as potential future starters. Ideally, that would be Braswell, Hallett or Junior who would show big jumps from year 1 or the rookie Prince. If none of those youngsters earn the coaches confidence in the pre-season, I'd expect Flowers or Brown to make the team due to their experience. 

What position do you see as the most competitive going into this season?

I know in the past we have thought about standard defensive position groups. This year I am assuming due to our new DC we will need to change our though processes a bit.  If you look at the Falcons initial 53 man roster they do not list CB's and Safeties.  In fact take a look they have 3 position groups, LB(8), DL(7) and DB(10). 

As for competitiveness, this may be one of the most competitive training camp in years.
