4. Cornerback
There are a lot of question marks with regard to this unit. The first is what the team’s plans are for Daryl Worley. He will be a free agent in March if they don’t re-sign him. And as a starter, he would be tough to replace.
What about Lamarcus Joyner? Do they keep him as the nickel corner or move him to safety? He was not great covering the slot last season after signing a huge free-agent deal.
They traded away Gareon Conley to make way for rookie Trayvon Mullen, who is now the most entrenched starter on the team. Their depth at the position behind Mullen, Worley, and Joyner is a big question mark.
Nevin Lawson was terrible and is likely one-and-done. Rookie fourth-round pick Isaiah Johnson barely saw the field, first due to injury, and then development. Undrafted rookie Keisean Nixon showed some flashes.
