I have zero confidence they have..

The team calculated that move with the thoughts of drafting in advance.(full disclosure, I was over the top pissed off that they allowed both Bates and Bell to walk in the same offseason)  The process of development takes a few years.  Bates did not become a household name as a rookie, or even as a second year guy.  Your "zero confidence" rating really means jack shit.  The team invested high picks in both Hill and Battle, they will become what we had gotten used to.  If not, Coach Lou is a secondary coach at his core, and he will pick someone that will make up the difference. There are plenty of good Safeties in this year's draft.
