    The Bears move of Corey Graham from cornerback to free safety appears to be a permanent one. But we hear it remains to be seen if Graham, who started nine games last season at right cornerback in place of the injured Nate Vasher, is on a fast track toward becoming the starter at the FS position. Right now, theyre just throwing a bunch of bodies out there (at both free and strong safety), one daily team observer said. Theyve admitted there were problems in coverage at the position last year, and Grahams range should help in that regard. He also wont back down physically, although he doesnt have prototypical size (6-0, 193). The move of Graham to safety also might be an indication the team is growing more comfortable with the status of Vasher, who has told team insiders he is feeling much better after being limited by groin and hand injuries last season. Hes been lining up with the (first team), the team observer said of Vasher, but he still has a lot to prove.
