This is an unofficial depth chart, which I have created by re-watching the Spring Game and then listening to recent videos of various interviews from Ed Orgeron, players, and other practice observers.

• [Update: Glenn Logan injured his leg. Orgeron mentioned Bryce Langston at the end of his DT depth run-down. If Langston stays at DT, look for those guys at the “Linebacker” spot to get more reps at DE.]
• I use a purple box instead of a yellow box to reflect a possible formation sub.
• The purple "Linebacker" position merely reflects some players' positions on the official roster, even though this categorization does not seem accurate. Perhaps they are 3-3 Outside Linebackers that come down to the LOS to show a 4-2 look. These players have generally remained unmentioned by CEO during his weekly Tuesday Depth Chart discussions on the T-Bob and Hester show.
• Anthony Bradford has been taking reps at both LT and RG.
• Marlon Martinez got a few reps at Center behind Charles Turner, who had taken reps at Tackle a couple of years ago.
• Some position groups remain difficult to discern, including WR (though Brian Thomas Jr. has stood out at the "X" spot) and some of the OL.

Enjoy!

You aren't kidding. The fact that Roy could justifiably be 3rd string is crazy.

All 6 of the interior DL guys listed will play meaningful snaps. That will keep them fresh and by the 4th quarter wear down the OL that is trying to block them.

That will hopefully also help the safeties in coverage if a consistent pass rush can be provided.

I think this year we will show what having a good dl can do for a team.

Dellinger will be the Starter at LT before the first game.

He's being wasted sitting behind Deculus when he's one of the 5 best OL's on the team......

So we have officially done away with occasionally having a fullback, H-back, 2 backs in the backfield (whatever you want to call them)?
4-man OL + TE, single back + QB means 4 wide-outs every play?

Not complaining, just wondering...

There will always be at least 5 OL on the field for every play.

Good job. My first thought looking at the names was "Damn were gonna be good this year, really good"

everyone talks about how good our DL is gonna be and I agree, but I really like our experienced guys coming back on the OL. I think they will be the difference in lots of games, giving Max time and allowing us to score

Just a slight glance at this shows our defense will be the strength this season. If we can mitigate big plays in between the LBs and secondary, teams are going to have issues moving the ball against us.

I agree that the experience on the OL will be a good thing. But, looking at that graphic really makes it obvious for the need to develop depth for the future. Coach Davis will earn his pay this year!

Wow that Dline and CB jumps off the page looks like a pro roster with those potential studs.

Word on the street is things are pointing towards Burns starting at SS.

Nice touch with Jared Small above Strong btw. Every practice seems to produce more positive praise for him from one coach or another.
