Cornerbacks
Darius Slay ties Rashean Mathis for top cornerback honors. In 2014, Mathis ended the season graded higher than Slay by PFF’s metrics, but I have a feeling the young third year player is going to take that from the wily vet. Bill Bentley and Mohammed Seisay are of course no longer with the team, likely fixed with the first update.
| First Name | Last Name | Position | OVR |
| Rashean | Mathis | CB | 84 |
| Darius | Slay | CB | 84 |
| Josh | Wilson | CB | 78 |
| Chris | Owens | CB | 75 |
| Bill | Bentley | CB | 72 |
| Nevin | Lawson | CB | 72 |
| Alex | Carter | CB | 68 |
| Nate | Ness | CB | 66 |
| Crezdon | Butler | CB | 65 |
| Quandre | Diggs | CB | 65 |
| Mohammed | Seisay | CB | 65 |
Safeties
Glover Quin, like much of last season, enters the 2015 season underrated despite his 90 overall rating. There are several other players here that will probably show up with the first roster update.
| First Name | Last Name | Position | OVR |
| Glover | Quin | FS | 90 |
| James | Ihedigbo | SS | 85 |
| Don | Carey | FS | 73 |
| Isa | Abdul-Quddus | SS | 71 |
