Depth Chart Spring 2025 best guess

Funny how when I was making this depth chart I wondered to myself if a few people would have a difficult time comprehending why it is written with 12 spots. I reasoned that this is a football board and surely everyone would understand that the extra spots represent starters in different personnel sets and not that we get to play with more than 11. I regret I was mistaken.

Francis being a snarky *****. We're going 16-0 boys!

LB is concerning
DT is mid and no depth
SS is questionable
IOL has no depth


Everything else is passable give or take adding a WR1 and RB3

Agree with this, though I wouldn't have put WRs as a postscript, they're right up there with LB and DT. Still the deepest roster we've had in forever and we still have the final portal season to go.

Can we get 4 playoff caliber guys and another 2 depth guys to complete the puzzle, then pull it altogether during Summer camp? And can we avoid being raided for our talent by other teams?

Why is DT mid? A former 5 star entering year 2 and blay who had 6.5 sacks and 10+tfls is mid? Moten as the 3rd guy. Y’all might want to look around cfb. You think the big programs have 4-5 proven star DTs? They don’t

I wouldn't characterize the three starters as "mid" from a regular-season perspective. They should be serviceable. But they still have question marks as to how dominant they can be this season. When we were winning championships, we had guys like Greg Mark, Cortez Kennedy, Russell Maryland, Sapp, and Wilfork. Are they able to step up and be playoff level at least, and potentially dominant?

The "mid" feeling is that once you get beyond those 3 (who, again, are relatively unproven at a top P4 level) there's really no one who is reliable. If even one of them gets injured for even a partial game, our overall performance as a team could suffer. Especially vs teams like ND and Clemson if we're good enough to get that far.

It’s the same around cfb tho. Clemson? Their o-line ain’t all that

Yea basically plus really we know what moten is but scott and blay are complete question marks where we really dont know what we have yet.

Also one injury to those 3 guys and we are cooked. Basically the same thing can be said for Safety where one injury derails everything.

LB is just is what it is injuries or no injuries

There is a lot of teams around the country like that. That’s what y’all not understanding. Look around cfb right now at DT and a good majority of the teams are in a very similar situation we are in. They have either unproven starters or they have unproven depth

So does Miami have proven starters or do they have proven depth?

I think we all understand that. But aren’t you sick of a 7-9 win team, 10 wins with first pick QB? The only way to get beyond that is to have better talent and more depth and breadth of talent. Especially in the trenches where teams like ND and OSU can make the NC with good but not great QBs.

I “think” Blay and Scott can be those guys. But I’m more than tired of projections. Mario finally went out and got proven playoff caliber guys at DB. He needs to do that at DT (and WR and LB).
 
Haden Lowe will jump someone and be second team DE imo. Alderman and Wesley probably start, Marketh Williams might be starting safety, beside Poyser. That’s all if the season started today imo
