Really?
Yes we did see Vigil on a couple of plays and he looked decent in coverage. And he was good in coverage in college too. Maualuga was always a liability in coverage. And yes Minter has better speed and is better in coverage than what he replaces - for once we actually signed a free agent who is not close to retirement.
So hard as it is for some to believe, we actually have a solid starting LB group that is not cold meat for TEs and backs catching passes and can actually play three downs. Which means we are not tied into LB at 9 in Round 1 (thankfully especially after Foster failed the drug test).
