Niemann - 557 snaps
Hughes - 508 snaps
I look at that list and look at who we signed and I feel fairly confident that our secondary will be better next year, especially during the second half as new players get more comfortable in the scheme. The talent, youth, and athleticism traits are there.
Mathieu -> Reid
Ward -> McDuffie
Sorensen -> Cook
Hughes -> Fenton, Williams, Johnson Jr.

What are you picking to say these players are better???
Mathieu was graded higher at coverage but lover that Reid in run defense, plus Reid is younger and faster.
How is Sorenson better than Cook.. this alone makes me question your decision making. Sorenson was the worst safety in the NFL until a few lucky interceptions improved his ranking.
The season will show if our secondary is better or not. To me, the only real loss here is Ward, other than that I feel we have improved. If McDuffie is at the Sneed level or better we are much better.... I did notice you left Snead off of your list... coincidence?
