I really think that Cato June will be the Will this season as a stop gap. Cushing and Ryans are pretty much locks, I'd imagine at Sam and Mike. Adibi has to step up because he's a WILL only and if he's not the starter, he may find himself expendable. If he can't unseat June as the starter by December, I imagine we'll be drafting a WILL next season (Weatherspoon, please?).
As for Diles, he's a backup LB at perhaps all 3 positions. That's valuable to the team because injuries do happen. It is fair to give him a shot at the WILL since that is position that is up in the air. I just don't imagine that he'll beat out June. However, he could cause Adibi's departure to happen sooner. That would allow Chaun Thompson to stay on the roster as a pass-rushing LB.
