I would say that I will be pretty shocked if he doesn't make the team....at least as it stands right now, and not because I have a really high value of his play. It's just a numbers game.

Bennett, Fred
Faggins, Demarcus
Fletcher, Jamar
Molden, Antwaun
Reeves, Jacques
Roberson, Derrick
Robinson, Dunta
Williams, Jimmy

That's all the CB's on the roster right now. Bennet. Reeves, Molden, and Robinson are locks in my opinion. At least for the first few weeks of the season we can expect to have one more spot open while Dunta finishes up rehab.

Fletcher should be able to beat out Faggins, but he didn't exactly blow me away last year either. Other than that it's Roberson and Williams competing with Faggins. I remember Kubiak saying some good things about Williams last year. It's not inconceivable that Faggins wins that battle though. I would prefer for one of those guys to come out of nowhere and blow everyone away at camp, but I don't think you can say that it's likely at this point.

In the past we've always had guys like Jason Simmons and Hutchins who could play both Safety and Corner. They are gone, but I think one of the Brandon's played a little corner in college....although I've never heard anything about him playing CB at this level.
