Totally unrelated but curious who you think we keep as defensive backs and safeties? Lucas to PS?
Hard to say, and it's funny, because Lucas compares well to Rowe as an athlete (think I made the comparison when we drafted Lucas). Maxwell, Howard, and McCain are the only locks. I haven't had a chance to compare the play of Pitts, Lippett, and Lucas, and I haven't focused on Melvin at all. I was never a big Lippett fan at CB, so I'd tend to favor Lucas and Pitts, but it doesn't seem like the staff feels that way.
Lucas to PS seems like a good bet - unless they think he's shown enough to play relatively early or enough to fear losing him. With Culliver likely to play in a few weeks, I think McCain will be the 4th CB, so flexibility and ST's should go aong way in deciding which of those CB's stay on.
