Quarterback: If Mond can euthanize "Moon Moon" Mond he's solidly locked in, but what if Foster beats him out in the Spring?

Running Back: If Trayveon leaves for the draft, it's Corbin's.

Fullback: Ben Miles or someone else?

Wide Receiver: Looks like it's solidly Davis and Ausbon with Rogers and Buckley battling it out for the third spot

Tight End: If Sternberger leaves for the draft, it's a Cupp/Beal battle with Cupp probably taking it

Offensive Tackle: I wouldn't be shocked to see Blanton and Matthews beat out Moore and Green

Offensive Guard: Tank should be able to lock up one of the spots. Remains to be seen if Hocker keeps the other

Center: No change

Defensive End: Brown should have one of the slots locked down and Johnson should have the other one unless Wilson or Martin beats him out

Defensive Tackle: Peevy and Madubuike

Rover: Does Buddy Johnson keep it or does Okeke recover enough to take it back?

Mike: Does Dodson move inside, Hines take it or does White win it in the Spring?

Sam: See above - Dodson, Hines or Orebo

Cornerback: The only 2018 player who has a chance of keeping his job is Myles Jones. If we get Carter, he's an early entrant and it's likely Jordan Moore gets the other

Safety: Two of O'Neal, Carper and Johnson

Punter and Kicker: no change

I disagree. Renfro might fool you.

If Trayveon leaves, I think we might start 2019 with a RB by committee. We don't know how many carries Corbin can handle in a game. He'll have to show that he can carry the load.

I can't remember him catching any passes. He may not be much use in 3rd down situations.

Spiller's highlights feature his receiving ability. He may can help us out as a 3rd down back.

I think Renfro and Jones will be our starting CBs heading into fall camp. Would like to see Chatman healthy in the spring to see if he can make a difference. It feels like this position group is our biggest question mark going into next season.

Safety might be even worse

I hope Jalen Preston makes a push for 3rd WR. He could be a difference maker with his combination of size & speed.

And if I remember correctly, Caleb Chapman was getting a lot of hype prior to injury. He could be another guy in the rotation.

Whenever Clemons get back to full strength, I think he'll be a potential starter opposite Brown.

RB - Corbin is the obvious choice. But don't sleep on Cordarrian Richardson.

WR - Need a difference maker to emerge badly. Specifically a deep threat.

DE - Clemons will factor in.

CB - wiiiidddeee oooppeeenn race

S - see CB

I think he is working at nickel behind Capers-Smith. Not sure who else is in the mix there.

I absolutely think Preston plays next year. This was learning year but, he will explode next season.

Luke Matthews will be the only new addition to the starting OL.

Brian Williams will start at free safety. Carter at corner if he sticks.

Leal at DE will contribute for sure. Wright also on the other side.

I can see Chapman gaining weight and turning into Sternberger's receiving threat.
