Goodson is being talked about because Hayward's condition before camp is unknown. Godson might be #1 outside if Hayward is unavailable. He might be on the 2nd or 3rd team too.
I like Hayward but he has a history of not staying healthy and this was probably why we drafted those 2 DBs in the first 2 rounds after Tramon Williams left.

Don't forget that Shields, too, has quite an injury history. He has yet to play a 16 game season. He has played just 67 of 80 games in five years. If Shields and Hayward are the starters, the #3 CB should expect quite a few starts, and the #4 could get some, too.
