While defensive coordinator Phil Snow doesn’t have much to work with in year one, he does have a few versatile young defensive backs. Both second-round pick Jeremy Chinn and fourth-round pick Troy Pride Jr. have been moving around and playing multiple spots in the team’s walk-through practices. We can expect Tre Boston to continue playing free safety and Donte Jackson will keep starting outside at cornerback. Beyond that, it’s hard to pencil anybody in at any one position at this point. That’s not necessarily a bad problem to have, though.
