Shouldn't really surprise anybody seeing a healthy competition and good mix of secondary players. It's the one area that Baalke has traditionally been above average to solid at as far as scouting and drafting the right players.

Was high on Braswell last year out of Rutgers. Jones is still my favorite overall selection from this class. NYC has the right of it though, he'll be the primary nickel CB, and, depending on the down and distance, he may move in and out of the rotation with Savage or a thumper to tighten up the coverage from the LOS.

Prince was a good pick. His speed alone offers some ability on special teams as a tackler. We need all the help we can get though. The secondary was wonky at times last year. The beefed up interior on defense should give these guys more chances on the football as well if the pressure begins to develop to push the pocket.
