2013 Depth Chart

I thought about that, but then I asked myself, if there a better safety in the country? I couldn't think of one.

Reid is gone... You can book it

Reid is projected to go in the first round he is not staying! Logan is also a first round pick or high second. He is gone.

Mingo
Montgomery
Chancey A.
Edwards
Logan
minter
reid

We will have no depth at DE

a strong offense through.

I don't think Minter is a lock to leave. In fact I bet he stays. You're right on Logan I bet he's gone.

And we have strong depth at DE, just limited experience.

Simon is leaving too. Reuben Randle knew he wasn't a first rounder either but left. The allure of the league is great and some of these guys think they will go higher than they will. In my judgment, Reid, Simon, Logan and Minter will all benefit from an extra year in Baton Rouge. But all four will declare for the draft.

The loss of those four plus Montgomery, Mingo, and the seniors will be very impact full on our defense. Hopefully we aren't 2008 bad next year on defense. But we could be.

2012 was the year. As we have seen, Bama is not as good as 2011. Bama is still probably the best team (I think K State is this year's Okie State Nd i am not impressed with Notte Dame talent wise outside of a few players). But our offense took more time to gel than was necessary and we lost to a team we should have beat (Florida) and lost a heartbreaker to Bama. Squandered opportunities.

2013 is shaping up to be a 3 or 4 loss season.

Starting 4 on DL look solid for 2013; we're gonna be thin on depth though.

I'm assuming Logan, Sam, Mingo, Minter, Reid all declare but Simon stays another year. If Logan stays we are in great shape again but I don't see why he would...

Not so fast, my friend!

While it appears we won't be able to rely as heavily on our defense next year, the offense is primed for a BIG season, possibly the best offense since Miles has been here. And Chief is going to have the D ready regardless of who is out there. He's shown us no reason to not have faith in him to pull together one heck of defense.

With all of that said, Bama, A&M, UF, and UGA could all be better next year as well...wow, that's one heck of a tough schedule to get through so 3-4 losses is certainly possible, but I really like our chances next year.

Assuming all projected that are going to declare including Minter...

Logon is who I an wanting to keep and worried he goes pro.

Reid is certainly positioned well enough to go pro but I am hoping his emphasis on education keeps him here another year.

Minter we can certainly survive losing him and I had zero concern about him leaving considering the backups behind him at LB that we have. But man as the season progresses he is looking more and more studly every game. Could be the star of the defense next year if he stays.

Simon hasn't played nearly as well as I expected. He and Reid and Loston have been the db's that have been getting burned most often. Not really hate there but Jalen has been so freaking solid. It is as if they reversed roles as the teacher and the student.

We will finally see the let down next year on he DL. Good but not quite as good (assuming logon leaves) and not as much depth.
