I see the CB Lineup as being something like
Hall
Amerson
Biggers
Wilson
Crawford/Minnifield worked into there somehow.
My personal feeling on it is we have a ton of young guys and I wish they'd kick Wilson to the curb now and let Crawford and Minnifield step up in dime packages this year. Kick Hall to the curb and let Amerson be #1 next year.

Yeah, I mean either way, I'm not going to be shocked if Wilson is or isn't on the roster this season. I agree with what you said, and feel that Wilson is kind of keeping the young guys back from 'getting their feet wet' so to speak. He won't be back next year, that I am certain of.
As for 4 TE's not being a lock; Davis is a lock because he is listed a#1, is on a 1 year deal, and knows our system the best. Jordan Reed is a lock because he was a 3rd round draft pick and has booming potential; Logan Paulsen is a lock for his blocking, what he did last year, his experience and his special teams value. Niles Paul is a lock (not as much a lock as the other 3 but still a lock) because he is cheap, young, has potential, is doing good in camp and preseason, is literally the offensive version of Lorenzo Alexander (ie not great at his particular position on defense, but ok/decent and is great at special teams) now that Lorenzo is gone to Arizona, Niles could be that new Special Teamer for us. Plus he can play TE/H-Back/WR/KR more than a lot of other guys on the team, and Shanahan loves versatility.
