I don't disagree with anything on here.

The only question I have is the fullback position. Kirby has said that he won't scholarship a fullback. It makes sense. But who do we use in 2018?

I like the idea of Holyfield getting a few reps.
Obviously, there is an opportunity for a tight end as well (although all of our tight ends are huge. I'm not sure someone that tall can win blocks from that position on a consistent basis).

Luke Ford's brother... PWO. At least that is the word on the street.

1) QB: Stetson Bennett will not receive a scholarship next August IMO. 2 year rule for walk ons... otherwise he counts as an initial counter. Same problem Hot Rod had.

2) RB depth chart - tentative:
Swift > Zeus > Holyfield > Herrien > Cook

Pending Zeus' quick recovery and also potentially discounting what Cook brings. His performance at the All American game was pretty eye opening.

3) WR - they have a strange depth chart there with Landers possibly the #2 behind Godwin, with both players being vastly different. Seems almost like a placeholder for WRs depending on packages rather than a true depth chart. Landers and/or Ridley most likely to be filling the spot left by Wims.

4) TE - they didn't even try. Nauta was vastly improved blocking this year, but due to passing volume just didn't seem to be involved. Woerner was, but health was obviously a bit of a problem. If pass/run balance shifts a bit next year, really hoping to see the TEs actually see some more creative targeting. Will not hold my breath though...

5) OL... straight maulers. That's as fine of a collection of OL talent as I've seen as a UGA fan. Nearly 2 full OLs stacked with starting SEC caliber players. (OT position questionable to have 4 in total).

Great post. In the comments, Rowe defends his guesses.

Landers behind Godwin isn't as a backup to godwin. It is a sub package where we want size alongside with Ridley in goalline at the same time. However, it would seem questionable to remove our most experienced and talented receiver from goalline.

For tight end, he is quoting the uga depth chart.

Great info on QB and RB. Cook looked like a beast catching the ball out of the backfield in the allstar game. I know it was against high school competition. But that is my biggest memory of Kamara back then as well (making plays in space).

I personally doubt Bennett gets the scholarship. But if you are correct, September would be the month to do it.
