I'm wondering who you think the starters will be:

Line:

Silver
Smith
Delattiboudere
Robinson
Umlor
Gibson
Mafe
Devers
Otomewo
Coughlin

D-Backs

Williamson
Thomas
Huff
Craighton
Winfield
Beck
Harris
Handy-Holly
Estes
Durr
Shenault

Should Coughlin be moved back to linebacker?

And true freshmen ready to start?
 

If they stay at a 4-3 (which they will) then Coughlin needs to add weight and play DE. He may not be able to do it though. Either way he will be a good player. There will be a true freshman in the mix too.
 

My way too early predictions:

DE Umlor
DT Smith
DT Moore
DE Otomewo/Delattiboudere
OLB Coughlin
MLB Barber
OLB Martin
CB Thomas
CB Shenault
S Winfield
S Handy-Holly
 

I would like to see Coughing go back to outside linebacker. Him, Barber and Martin would be a great starting group. Add Cashman and Huff into the two deeps and that's a good group. I think on the line will have some freshman in the mix for the two deeps where we can do this
 

DE Umlor
DT Smith
DT Moore
DE Otomewo
OLB Coughlin
MLB Barber
OLB Martin/Cashman
CB Williamson
CB Shenault
S Winfield
S Huff

If they play a lot of nickle again then Handy-Holly/Beck slide in for Martin/Cashman

Excited for the depth at DB next year!

Coney Durr, not Antonio "I'll concede the 12 yard out" Shenault

Durr was still injured this year and has basically played 1 college game. Shenault has played a lot.

I hope we get better play next year whether it's Shenault, Williamson, Durr or whoever...

I believe that has more to do with the def. design than the player.

DE: Umlor/Devers
DT: Silver/Smith
DT: Moore/Robinson
DE: DeLattiboudere/Otomewo
OLB: Martin/Cashman/Guthrie
MLB: Barber/Cashman
OLB: Coughlin/Huff
CB: Williamson/Thomas
S: Winfield/Handy-Holly
S: Huff/Beck
CB:Shenault/Durr

Should be a solid def. depth chart...or position chart
 




Would rather Coughlin stay at end and get Cashman on the field at LB full time.
Also think Winston and Umlor at one end and devers CC the other.

Coughlin is moving back to OLB, I don't know why people are still discussing him staying at DE

He belongs there. We're in for another awful year if he's still forced to play DE. I feel bad he had to do it this year.

he played great as a true soph. Add 15 pounds in the offseason and he'll be even better. I'm fine if we move him to LB, but only if his replacement is as good. We still have great LB depth. Hate to take one off the field when CC played well at DE.

Missing Gary Moore and Noah Hickcox on the DL

Kiondre Thomas (when healthy early season) was performing at a MUCH higher level than Shenault was.

I'd guess Thomas and Williamson will be the starting corners.

And we should be nervous about Durr making a full recovery from his knee injury.

Where? Barber, Martin, Coughlin and Cashman are the only guys who have played consistently.
 

I think we will see a lot of new talent on the field.
