Compare the 2013 starters with the projected 2016 starters:
Offense 13 16 Adv
TE Downs Wolfe 16
LT. Richardson Richmond 13
LG. Bullard. Wiesman 16
C. Stone. Thomas. E
RG. Fulton. Robertson. E
RT. James. Hall. 13
RB. Neal. Hurd. 16
WR. North. Malone. 16
WR. Howard. Smith. 13
WR. Croom. Williams. 16
QB. Worley. Dobbs. 16
On the OL, Tiny gets the nod over Richmond because of the unknown. That 2013 line was good.
Defense. 13. 16. Adv
DE. J. Smith. Barnett. 16
DT. McCullers. McKenzie. E
DT. Hood. Obrien. E
DE. Walls. Kongbo. 16
LB. D. Sapp. McDowell 16
LB. AJ Johnson Kirkland. 16
LB. Maggitt. JRM. 16
CB. Sutton. Sutton. 16
CB. Coleman. Martin. 16
FS. Randolph. Gaulden. 13
SS. McNeil. Kelly. 16
I know some will say AJ is better than Kirkland, but I think Kirkland is much faster and better in coverage. I also think Gaulden will prove to be better than Randolph but is unknown now. If Tuttle is healthy, he is better than Hood.
