IMO, we could lose all draft eligible players + seniors. I see It going differently though.

Vadal (wow did he make a difference)
Mills
J. Collins
Kwon

i believe we keep Dural, Hawkins and Hunter. Hawkins slide to LT, Pocic plays RT/C/G, Dodd plays C, Teuhema plays G/RT, Brumfield plays G.

We aren't the only ones losing OL though. Just going on our schedule alone, Bama, TAMU, South Carolina, UF, and MSU are all losing 3 OL.

Just because of physical maturity issues, it used to be common to lose 3 or 4 seniors every few years. Now, with players coming in pegged as starting/playing early on the OL and kids leaving early, the redshirt (while still common) is becoming less automatic for OL (particularly the top tier) and going early is a little more common than it used to be - it is having a cumulative effect - just as the revolving door of junior RBs and WRs have made 1st year guys at those positions far more common to start and play heavily, earlier, than just 10 or 12 years ago.
