Is anybody hearing anything on how the depth chart might play out? I'm especially thinking of RT, WR, SLB, and CB.

CB is decided....Avery Roberson and Jahi Word-Daniels. The only question is who the nickel back will be...Pat Clark or Joe Gaston...or slide Jamal to it in those situations and put Joe at SS.

SLB looks to be Shane Bowen. Anthony Barnes will see plenty of time as well though.

We are going to play a lot of 3-receiver set and the top 5 will play a lot. Greg Smith is the #1 receiver right now (per Geis)...with James Johnson next...then Demaryius Thomas. However, Correy Earls and DJ Donley will get some PT as well. Get used to these guys as all five are back next year....plus Willie White (redshirting), Chris Jackson, and AJ Jenkins.

When all of this injury stuff is said and done, AJ Smith will be the starting RT. The backup will largely depend on what is going on with the rest of the line injury-wise and who our opponent is. If all other spots are healthy and AJ Smith goes down...you will likely see Cord Howard next. Jacob Lonowski could also play that spot. If there were a few injuries (Howard and Lonowski play multiple spots)...do not be surprised if Yandell ends up without a redshirt...although the coaches really want him to reshirt if they can.
 
OL - When AJ comes back look for Jake to back him up with Cord on the left side backing up Andrew. They like Cord on the left side because of his shoulder. Both can work at guard along with Voss. They will probably give Dunmon more time at center with Tums in his last year.

CB - Reese and Butler look to be the two primary back-ups besides Clark.
