I'm not asking to doubt you just wondering your opinion. What do you see the depth is at DL and LB with the freshmen. It would be great for them to step in and we do have some good depth. I'm sure at least one or two(besides Little) will come out and be studs next year.

Think Liggans has a chance to be a contributer? Also any chance Putman can be a player?

IMO
On OL we will have the 8 that Dorerules mentioned plus Liggins. I'm not convinced Liggins can really play OL though. But counting him that's 9 contributors. It's tough to go through a season with only 9 OL as they get banged up and we like to rotate. Which is why I think we will need at least one more OL in the mix. No way Michael Howard has gained the weight to play. I'll be surprised if Tyler Putman ever helps. Possibly Tuley-Tillman?
Little
Simms
Taylor
Patterson
Rawlings
Conyers
Bouldin
Givens
Liggins
Freshman/Transfer
At LB we have Gates and Caldwell returning. It doesn't look like RayRay Smith and Temario Strong will ever contribute much. Polk isn't an SEC LB. Shawn Curtis supposedly looks good but is slow. Luafastaga won't be here until the fall. I can't see Tisdale, a 6'5" 250 lb HS DT, actually being able to play LB. Evans seems to be the best bet to give us some depth there unless we can pull Mique Juarez
Gates
Caldwell
Curtis
Luafastaga
Polk
Evans

I agree the just about all of this, except the Curtis slow part. I'm sure he isn't a blazer but he is much more faster than CJ Johnson, DT, and Mike Marry.
DL has a lot of guys we've forgot about. McDowell, Donnelly, Victor Evans came on strong at the end of the year, Austrian Robinson. That's not mentioning Fadol, Haynes, Gross, Speaks, DJ Jones, and Benito.

I don't think Liggins is gonna give us much on the OL. He really should have committed to losing weight to play TE. He is a athlete.

Well while We are breaking down next year our secondary seems pretty set at CB, Tony at Huskey, Cj ate free but who will fill in for Hilton? Safety is a spot that I can see a freshman helping with depth.

He isn't slow. He actually plays more RB for his HS team than Defense. Real raw player who will likely need a RS to transition to college/change of position.
Edit: looked up his 40 time and it says 4.53.....but I'd take that with a grain of salt though.

I don't think Liggins can contribute on OL...it's too late. Hate to say this....but he has been mismanaged from day one.

Somebody else probably has a better idea than me but my best guess is
Hampton and Conner should start. The Moores, Woods, Deontay Anderson (assuming we get him), and Jaylon Jones will all be the the mix.
I won't guess at who plays Free vs Strong
We also have Armani Linton but I think I read he would need a couple of years to contribute
