re: Brennan is going to follow suit next year.

The defense too should be pretty stout, as I think some speed guys like Cherry, McClendon, and Funia will be worked into the DL rotation. So the pass rush should overall be better as well. Webb and Ojulari will probably rotate at the Buck. Meanwhile, I'm thinking Brooks will probably try to take Delpit's old spot. Also, Stevens, Harris, and Hampton will all rotate at the Safety spots. Then Stingley and Ricks will man the corners. The linebacker corps will be pretty much the same unless Jacob Phillips heads off to the NFL.

Wow, Ricks is coming in and beating out Flott and Ward? Brooks is not a replacement for Delpit. He more likely replaces Stevens who will be in the NFL. Safeties are likely Hampton and Harris.

The dline could be a problem depending on who declares. It’s a safe bet we get Farrell back to pair with Ika and Evans, but Logan and Shelvin could go, and lawrence and Fehoko are out of eligibility. We could be desperately low on depth, and in the “good” scenario, we have Farrell, Ika, Evans, and Logan as proven two deep guys, with a bunch of true freshmen providing depth.
