Could be the case.

Without a doubt Dax Hill is much more physical and a much better tackler than Bates.
These were Bates weaknesses coming out of the Draft. Bates range is his strength, thing is, it is a strength of Dax Hill's too.

With that said, I'm really glad we took a Safety that runs in 4.3's instead of a corner (Kyler Gordon) who runs in the 4.5's.
No doubt, or McCreary who ran pretty slow for a Corner at the Combine...

If he plays like middle of the season Jessie, he'll likely lose his spot and his leverage going into his next contract. Hopefully Bates has his mind right all season this year.
Good points Sled, also if Jesse is acting weird we can trade him for a pick or 2 today. Would be for it now with Dax Hill here.
