ole miss had 10 different players start games on the O-line this year. They will be losing FIVE of said 10.
rebs led the SEC (#3 in the country) in returning starts on O-line going into '15 season with 120. No other SEC team cracked 100. Should return 30 starts in '16.
ole miss will have a DROP OFF on the O-line.

They'll be a drop off because the best offensive lineman in college football is leaving.
However, you're mentioning losing Morris, Bell, and Still among those, three guys that wouldn't start over Patterson, Conyers, and Taylor and/or Sims in 2016. Ole Miss will be fine in the interior.
If Little signs, he instantly starts at LT which will not make the Tunsil loss so glaringly awful.
Losing Cooper at RT will sting, but Sean Rawlings with a year under his belt and a start in the beginning of the year (including Bama) should help.
Bottomline, we started Tunsil, Patterson, Still, Sims, and Cooper to end the year. The guards were freshmen, Conyers is coming back to play center or RT, and Rod Taylor will finally be healthy.
I don't see a massive dropoff by any means.

Save Fahn Cooper, we will have four of the five oline starters who starter against Alabama and hopefully Greg little. We were average at the oline position and we will be at least average there next year. It's great that tunsil had nearly 40 starts coming into this year but we only got five games from him. The tackle position is most definitely a question mark but we put up good offensive numbers the first seven games with Rawlings and Cooper starting. We will survive. We have question marks at safety and left tackle and that's it. We are doing better than most. Especially with the quarterbacking issues in this division.
