Andy Dodd may be our center. The guy can play.

Weak at the QB position. I hope Etling shines in the spring.

Ok, then who plays Left Tackle?
He is our most poised and experienced offensive lineman.

Valentine, Malone, weathersby, or maybe some other shocker. Hawkins struggled moving from RT to LT and he was one of the best RT in cfb. Imagine how big the jump will be from C to LT. One of the main reasons I think he stays at C because if he is as dominate at tackle as he is at C why didn't they play him at RT this season? Unless they promise the position to him I think he stays where he is.

Team needs. Sometimes it's just about putting your five best guys out there at whatever position each can play. Barrett Jones at Alabama is a good example of this.

According to OP, we're not as deep at CB as I thought...we need Fulton and/or Mullen; particularly if Paris can't get on the field as s CB or Safety

I'm not sure we're going to switch to 3-4 overnight. I think they'll keep the 4-3 while still implementing the 1 gap scheme leveraging Arden Key like a hybrid lb/de.

What about John Battle? I feel like he could end up being in there over Rickey Jefferson.

pocic is more of an agile finesse blocker so i don't think he'd be that great at RT (but that fits great at LT)

He played well when he got opportunities.

We won't know until Aranda can see what he's got, but I tend to disagree with many on this. I think the lack of depth at LB will force the transition to 3-4 faster. OLBs can be converted DE's. We actually have a few that would thrive in that front. That means you only need 2 traditional LBs on the field which helps with depth. Plus, if Beckwith leaves, you would only have 2 rook on the field rather than 3.

White won't redshirt.

He doesn't need to drop a pound to play ILB. If they start in a LB from day 1 in spring he will be a starter next year

I don't see him red shirting either. Could see significant PT at LB if the move is made, with that being said if the coaches like him at RB let him compete. Yes we look really good at that position but Guice came in and moved up quickly. If he is a better RB than Williams move William to LB or FB

I hope we stick with the 4-2-5. Fits our personnel better and we seem to never have problems recruiting an abundance of quality DB's.
