Typically an Achilles tear injury time line for a young athlete is about 7-8 months. White suffered his injury at the end of September. He should be fine to start this season. I'd be surprised if he didn't participate in TC.
Lake played SCB because he was all they had last year. Shelley was injured and Tomlinson too raw. Kendricks was playing outside but he lacks the speed to play outside or SCB. I think in their base Lake and Curl will be their starting safeties.
When they play nickel they could move Williams to SCB where he played originally as a Ram and play Durant at boundary CB. IMO that would make more sense. They are probably going to take a CB with one of their first 4 picks so he would likely be in the mix as well. Tomlinson lacks the length to play boundary so I wouldn't be surprised to see him being coached up to play SCB.
Maybe. I think they like Lake closer to the LOS. And Yeast is not bad in deep half/deep third coverage. I think you are spot on with Tomlinson - slot only. I think Taylor is going to surprise people he was a very good safety in college. Durant can play the star, inside and out. Kendrick is a boundary corner, regardless of his speed. I think he’s the odd man out. Williams can play in or out but I think he’s actually better on the boundary. They will be playing a ton of match zone which should play to all the strengths of the secondary as a whole.
Re: TD White. Recovery might be 7-8 months but return to performance is certainly longer. I don’t expect him to be full go until week 2 at the earliest.
