Personally I thought he played very well his rookie season and will only get better. Ross will get his chance outside. LaFelle, who I like, will give up playing time to Ross as the season progress is my guess. Not saying Ross will never line up in the slot, but I think his roll for now is outside.
As for your second scenario, I don't know a lot about Minter but if Lawson catches on quickly, possibly you could Vigil slide to Mike.  I do think Minter is better than Mauluga, but by how much I know idea.
The main camp battle I am interested is with our DBs. Especially who will be our slot cover CB? Possibly even if Jackson can push Jones out of his starting position.... Other than that the back ups at WR should be interesting to watch unfold.

I think the biggest battle will be who wins our kicker battle!!

What I'm getting at with Green, Ross, and Lafell is there is no set spots. One play Green/Lafell are outside and Ross in the slot. The next play Ross/LaFell are ouside and AJ Green is in the slot to create mismatches. As for Lawson we could see them throw in some Bill Belicheat style big Nickel defense.


The Defensive backs are interesting and with Jones likely going to miss a couple games due to suspension Jackson had a chance to come in and steal a spot early.


With Margus Hunt gone Will Clarke could be getting a different roll on defense backing up the strongsidr instead of the weakside and getting Hunts snaps inside as a pass rusher.
