Duke is the most experienced and proven S on the roster his problem with us this far has been injury
Really like the idea of giving Hall a real chance at FS, I think he could make the transition very well
Jarrett seems like a natural
Bruton is going to have to earn his way onto the field and I'm sure he'll be given every chance to win the job because of the signin and money
But like w/ Jeron Johnson last year, I don't think he'll be handed the job
A positive 2nd order effect of Bruton winning a S spot is the ability to keep Hall at CB and help in the lower secondary opposite Breeland IF Cully is still recovering/ineffective OR Hall can join Jarrett and specialize as a NB/slot safety

actually Bruton is much more experienced player, Duke has only played 21 games in four years.
