Looking at Next year

Looking at proposed depth charts, we will have better athletes on the field. We will have better depth on the DL and they should be more developed. I’m picking Trent Thompson to stay. We will still have some size issues at key positions, mainly SS With JR Reed and we don’t have anybody at corner opposite DeAndre Baker. Assuming Roquan leaves we will probably have a void at ILB unless one of the freshmen or incoming kids can really step in but a current Kid on campus is more likely. Defensively, we will have many of the same issues in that we lack depth overall, some size, and speed in the secondary.

Offensively, Riley Ridley has all the tools and if Matt Landers is as advertised we will have size and speed on the perimeter that we’ve not had since AJ Green’s freshman year. The competition at all of the OL positions will drive our line next year. Kendall Baker needs to man up in the off season or get the heck out of the way of Jameree Salyer. RT will be our largest question mark between Isaiah Wilson and Cade Mays or maybe even D’Marcus Hayes. TE is very healthy and obviously our backfield is stacked.

We will probably not be as strong in special teams as we were this year thank to Cam Nizialek being a freaking stud punter but who knows. If our offense is better it won’t be as important that we have an NFL punter but would still be nice.
