Biggest issue: General manager Ted Thompson used his first two draft picks this year on projected cornerbacks, but neither Randall nor Rollins is a lock to become an immediate starter. Randall played mostly at safety for Arizona State and will not only have to adjust to the NFL game but also to playing on the perimeter. "Really no different," Randall said last month of the transition to cornerback. "A lot of people say that I move like a corner, and that just feels like my natural position. That's something I did in junior college and in high school." Rollins played only one year of football at Miami (Ohio) after switching over from basketball, so his adjustment might be even tougher. "I want to get to a level of comfort where I'm still not questioning myself," Rollins said during last month's minicamp. "Even though sometimes I may be right, I think I'm wrong. Just trying to find a level of confidence to where I know I'm right and then I can play, instead of being sometimes hesitant. That's going to come with the more reps I get."
