Projected starting lineup:
Starting cornerback: Jimmy Smith, 86.2 grade
Nickel cornerback: Tavon Young, 79.9* (2016 grade)
Another secondary bereft of holes. The return of Young only makes this a more formidable unit. The third-year corner had a 79.9 overall grade as a rookie before tearing his ACL last year. Brandon Carr‘s veteran presence also holds weight but the real key for this unit though will be the recovery of number one corner Smith.
