Sorenson/Niemann are the guys needing athletic upgrades at their positions based on how Spags deploys them. JOK would be a huge upgrade in that regard.

LeCounte can also play slot CB and would be a long-term solution should something happen with HB, who is not getting any younger.
That being said, I'm not suggesting LeCounte is a guy that would be interchangeable with JOK. Two completely different players but pieces that work in this defense, regardless.
