NB: 1. Malik Foreman 2. Marquill Osborne

Thoughts: Rashaan Gaulden, who I had penciled in at nickelback (and I think ultimately still could be in the conversation there) earlier in the offseason, made a strong move at safety this spring and got the start in the Orange and White Game at that spot. The coaches like him a lot and if he sticks at safety, I think he starts. That would leave Kelly Jr. as the leader to start at the other spot, but with Nigel Warrior, Evan Berry and Micah Abernathy, who had a good spring, as other contenders to start as well. They have options there. I think Sutton and Martin have locked down CB spots No. 1 and No. 2 with Malik Foreman penciled in as the nickel if Gaulden stays at safety.
