As far as I'm concerned, WJ III is the only one we ought to be "pencilling in" as a starter at this point. All the other spots should be open competition. If PacMan can come in and CLEARLY win a spot, I'd be open to it, but not if it's close between him and one of the younger guys. Looking forward to seeing what Harris, Phillips, and Shelton look like in preseason.
William Jackson 22 CB 6-0 190 25 3 Houston
Dre Kirkpatrick 27 CB 6-2 185 28 7 Alabama
Darqueze Dennard 21 CB 5-11 205 26 5 Michigan State
Josh Shaw 26 CB 6-1 190 26 4 USC
KeiVarae Russell 20 CB 5-11 196 24 3 Notre Dame
Davontae Harris 35 CB 5-11 205 23 R Illinois State
Darius Phillips 38 CB 5-10 179 22 R Western Michigan
Tony McRae 29 CB 5-10 185 25 2 North Carolina A&T

Yeah Shady, that is a lot of talent, the only one i have not been impressed with yet is Kirkpatrick and he has been a
starter and does some good things. Doesn't get beat deep much and has gotten much better dealing with the double
moves that plagued him early on. Dennard has great ball skills, quickness and physicality.
WJ3 has it all though, you are correct he should be the only one penciled in as the starter.
Shaw i have always liked, Kei Russell is very talented a 3rd rounder, Phillips is just a playmaker and has already shown
it in minicamp. Harris is a physical specimen a lot like Shaw. Just tons of upside top to down at Corner here IMO.
