Not bad.

Anything to add is cherry picking (condon probably won't be a true backup if Gaillard gets hurt for a series or game) (I think Cook has a spot on the field in the slot and motioning in and out of the backfield)(Woerner can be at one of the WR spots in depth with as much as we go 2 TE. And I don't see woerner attached on the line besides a tackle )

Ericson instead of Condon at C imo

I also think Tindall factors in heavily at LB as the season goes on.

Cook could also get some work in the slot

My bad, I meant to put Erikson at 2nd string center, not Condon.

I think Cook sees the field, I'm just not sure exactly where at this point. Kearis being here for the spring puts him ahead of Cook on the learning curve, too.

This is the point we've gotten to with our running back talent/depth... What a time to be alive.


I wouldn't be surprised if both White and Cook jump Herrien on the depth chart by season's end. White is dependent on a great recovery and just from seeing film of Cook that guy has bat shite crazy stuff.

I would be inclined to put Carter at #2 NT. Hawkins-Muckle have missed a lot of games over his career to injury.

Most of your projections are the standard next man up or guys who started last season. Can't disagree with it but im going to assume at least 1/2 lose their job.

My guesses -
Campbell takes the other corner spot.
Salyer takes Bakers job


Everything else is probably about right.

If Salyer was an EE, then I think he gets the start a lot sooner. As it stands, I think he wins the job by mid-season but the first game of the season Baker will likely still be the guy.

I think Campbell plays a lot of snaps, but between Baker and the rave reviews Webb has been receiving, I think they're our 2 corners for 2018. I could be wrong on that, though.

The LB spots will be very interesting this coming season.

I think Salyer will follow whatever Andrew Thomas did to be a starter on day 1.

I'm most interested in seeing how all the LB spots shake out. A lot of talented young guys with not much experience, competition should be intense in spring and fall camps.

Trey Hill is on campus. I think he have a good shot as well. Between both Hill who is on campus already, and Sayler being as good as he is, I don't see Baker at full time going into halftime of the USCe game.

Think it's pretty good overall. I agree with Sumter that Salyer will be a day 1 starter. Outside of that it's just small stuff

Think Herrien ends up 5th on touches for the backs.
Feel like Ford has to pass Jackson Harris.
Ridley was good for us when he got playing time last season. Excited to watch him and Holloman battle it out for that starting spot.
Think Tindall get some watch for ILB as well, but we'll see how that goes.

This depth chart has me more excited than I thought I would be for next season knowing how many talented players we lost.

Matt Landers will either start or be 1st off the bench.

Not familiar with Harris and Ford. Any chance either are competition for Nauta and Woerner?

I can't put any weight on what the coaches said about Landers' play in practice, because when Wims went down that redshirt would have been burned.

I think Quay Walker is one of the 4 who rotate at OLB along with Deandre Walker, Grant and Beal.

Kid is already 6'4" 240. That is pretty close to what our outside linebackers play at. Maybe at 8-10 lbs in the summer and he's already as big as they want them.

Wrong. Landers hadn’t been working with the ones so it would have been stupid to put him in.

And if I recall it wasn’t coaches but our defensive 1’s who practice against him on scout team that said he is a beast.

Nope, Kirby mentioned him specifically.

Either way, I saw an Instagram post from a Georgia fan account that all the players follow.

The account posted 3 separate posts on a surprise player next year, one for each player.

The first one was Monty Rice, and 6 players liked that post.

The second was Ameer Speed, and 8 players liked that post.

The third was Matt Landers, and 24 UGA players liked that post.

Don't get me wrong, I hope he is as good as stated but I’m looking at players like Holloman and Trey Blount who are big receivers that will play ahead of him.
