Here is a look at how the Depth Chart could start out tomorrow for the first day of Spring Practice.


Here are the questions I have on Offense:
• Will the TE room take on a greater responsibility this season?
• Was Kyle Parker actually the best WR signee from last season? Can he snag a starting spot from Aaron Anderson, or will they both be surpassed by a transfer?
• Will Khai Prean move to HB for the Spring; will he move back to WR; or will he stay at CB (as with the bowl game)?
• Where do the 4 new O-Linemen line up tomorrow?

Here are the questions I have on Defense:
• Do the Tigers move toward more of a Bear style front with a NT and two DEs, or will they continue with a DT/NT combo? DE looks like the deepest position group on the field.
• Does Da'Shawn Womack move to JACK to compete with Bradyn Swinson?
• Will the SAM position go away, or will some of these LBs cross-train at the STAR?
• What is the pecking order for the Safties with two new transfers coming entering the competition?

ETA: Per request I am adding the Mizzou Depth Chart from their bowl game against Ohio State. This should provide a reference for BB's position terminology on Defense.

Two transfer DTs are a must if we want to compete next year. Ridiculous how thin we are there

Womack is playing Jack. Never say a snap at DE.

Also, take a look at Blake’s defense depth chart at Missouri to get an idea on what they call everything.

I know it’s probably a long shot that this happens, but I really want Kimo to be a good DT. He’s the perfect size. Also, I appreciate that he has been here for 4 years when he could have transferred any time that he wanted.

DL and the secondary is still a problem, especially the DL.

I think Daniels and Thomas will start at WR.
I think Shone Washington will start over Lee.
Gilbert will start at Safety and I think Brown will be a starter CB.

Secondary looks fine. You have a bunch of young talented guys that Kelly trusts to develop after a year in the system.

DL is just sad. Crazy that this has been the last thing to address in the management of this roster after Orgeron. I get we had other pressing needs, but the lack of awareness to early departures on the DLine has been an oversight from this staff.

Love the added size Chester gives us at center since we already know he is athletic. Just gotta make sure we get snaps down.

Offense will need to run the ball early to keep the defense off the field. Defense will need to gel quickly and be aggressive. Take the TFL and sacks angle. The sit back and keep everything in front model obviously doesn’t work in CFB. (Thanks House)

Honestly……….there is a lot of names on that DL and secondary that every elite program in the country was after. These guys could possibly look much much better under a different system with different instruction. Not to mention guys staying healthy. We looked terrible last year no doubt……….just think there is room for optimism.

I have a feeling that Billiot will see a lot of playing time as a freshman

I need spring portal DT names lol.

I’m really worried this turns into a “if only Wingo and Smith came back we could have won the title” kind of year

Hoping they can move Toviano back to safety and he beats out Burns.

Good lawd... is WR Turner really 6-1, 142? The SEC will be disconnecting his torso from his legs if he doesn't get that weight up!

DJC has NO experience making the OL calls. Doesn't matter how "Big and Athletic" he is. Scary situation here.

Kelly and Davis should've begged Martinez to come back and start at Center. 6-5 330 with experience. Big mistake!

Whit Weeks needs to start.
Anderson didn't do anything to warrant a starting position.
Hilton hasn't been consistent.
I think Sampson makes a huge leap this season. He has it all.
