If we put B. Jones at FS could Wilcox play CB?

I think B. Jones is more of a free safety. Does Wilcox have the athletic potential to play CB?

As much as I wanted to see us finally address FS, I think we drafted Jones to be a CB. If you look at the draft each year, teams covet those big CBs. A guy like Ifo Ekpre-Olumu would have been a top 5 pick most years but he's a 3rd/4th round prospect because he's only 5'9". Byron Jones is 6'1" but set a record for jumping and outjumps 6'4" WRs on the regular.

Not a chance in hell. Wilcox is basically and undersized linebacker. We got Jones to make up for the lack of coverage Church and Wilcox have.

Yep, and Witten can play the other corner.

He actually has cover ability (TEs and RBs) and has been progressing quite well. He would be a better SS than Church imo and Church is more the LB type.

Well I guess if Jones doesn't work out at CB after a couple of years, then when Church's contract is up, they could put Jones back there with Wilcox.

LOL, Coffee just came out of my nose.

IF Jones is moved to FS, Wilcox plays SS.

If Jones was to play FS Wilcox would play SS and Church would play for someone else.
