Even then though you’re sacrificing coverage on Hill and Watkins for Kelce. It’s a lose/lose proposition.

Jimmy Smith was a first round draft pick in 2011, but he gets burned more than any other corner. When he was suspended the first 4 games, last year's first round draft pick Marlon Humphrey from Alabama played, and he is much more aggressive and a harder hitter. Jimmy is one those guys who just throws a shoulder, he would be terrible against a tightend. Actually the two safties Eric Weddle and Tony Jefferson are good cover guys, although Eric is a little slow with his age, he has the instincts like Ed Reed. I think Jefferson will cover Kelce and his backup Anthony Levine is a really good player that can start on a lot of teams, and will get a lot of playing time.
