Oh boy this doesn't sound good

Stanford

STRENGTHS Good size to contend with tight ends. Reads the quarterback and displays good instincts and anticipation. Showed ballhawking skills as a junior. Functional range off the hash. Wrap tackler. Has NFL bloodlines.
WEAKNESSES Small hands. Very average play speed, twitch and flexibility. Unsudden change of direction. Lacks burst to close suddenly or recover when beat. Occasionally loses field leverage and takes some inaccurate angles. Leaks yards after contact. Misses too many tackles in the open field and can be run over (see Utah). Can be manipulated by quarterbacks. Limited experience in man coverage. Poor leaping ability. Appeared extremely rigid in positional workout at pro day.

They just signed Maragos to be their Special Teams Safety.

Considering they are almost definitely keeping 5 CBs (Fletcher, Sconces, Carroll, Boykin, Watkins) they really can't afford to keep 5 safeties.

Jenkins and Maragos are definitely staying. If Reynolds makes this team, either Nate Allen or Earl Wolff won't.

Prick. Stick to youth soccer.

How many corners did they keep last year?

EDITED TO ADD: Five right? Marsh, Carmichael, Sconces, FLetcher and Boykin.

Because I just watched Kelly's interview about Reynolds and he noted they kept 5 safeties last year (Allen, Wolfe, Coleman, Anderson, and Chung).

Which means they kept 10 dbs (5 and 5).

Yeah, you're right. I guess I had forgotten just how many DBs they kept last year. However, they also only kept 3 OLB, which was just because they didn't have anyone worth keeping. I gotta believe they'll keep more than 3 this year.

Regardless, I still think the Watkins and Reynolds picks mean Nate Allen is in trouble.

Could be ... I just started thinking about it and realized they kept 10 last year (which actually caught me by surprise, because I hadn't really thought about it before).

[The Ref]

Like Ertz, he's going to miss the early camps. Is he talented enough to leap frog over those already here with just the summer camp to compete?

I think this is a dumb rule, especially when one considers the changing tide in the NCAA as players are about to start getting paid.
