Stripping could make an argument as he returns a couple bookends in Barnett and Maggitt who both had over 10 sacks despite both starting out the season fairly slow because of different reasons. Then he adds possibly the DL class in the country with K-Mac, Tuttle, Piccou, Phillips, Butcher and Taylor to go along with some nice pieces like O'Brien, Owen Williams, Lewis, Vereen, Mixon and Weathered. I'm probably forgetting somebody.
Thigpen has a nice group also with JRB, McDowell, Bynum, Elliot Berry, Kirkland, Bates, Sapp and Austin Smith. He may not have the proven starters but still there is talent to choose from it would seem and Maybin is as proven and dependable as you could ask for.
Martinez has nothing to complain about as he returns everybody but Coleman. This includes Sutton who is an All SEC caliber corner, Moseley, 2 senior safeties in McNeil and Randolph with young talent at every position to back those guys up like Evan Berry, Todd Kelly jr, Martin, Gaulden, Abernathy, Miller and Griffin.
As for Jancek just read the positions as there is proven talent and lots of unproven potential at every level.
At QB we have Dobbs who has proven to be a very good SEC QB and should only improve as he has taken control of this team/offense and gets the first team reps to himself. Backing him up we have a couple of 4* QB's. Dormady has looked better than about anyone expected as he was coming off surgery to his throwing shoulder and Jones looks good in the limited amount we have seen him. Jennings who could have been a very good QB with time just switched positions because playing time probably wasn't looking to promising considering who all is back there and the way we are recruiting QB's.
At running back we may have the best 1-2 punch of anybody as Hurd and Kamara compliment each other very well and both can do everything well and some things very well. Behind them there is question marks but it's hard to complain when you have two 5* backs to play with.
The WR position may look the best but poses many questions. You have a great blend of size, speed and experience yet we haven't seen the kind of production you would like to see...yet. North should be poised for a coming out party now that we know he is not injured badly. Howard is dependable and solid, Pearson is back and you would have to think he will put up some nice numbers considering what he did last year despite missing games with the injury and the lingering effects of that injury after his return. Croom will hopefully come back healthy even though they are managing him now in camp. Malone looks the part and has everything you would want as a WR he just has to put it together. Josh smith also seems poised to break out as he is healthy and may be our most polished WR when it comes to running routes. Then you add possibly the fastest guy on the team in Foreman and a couple tall athletic freaks in Jennings and Williams assuming he took care of business on the ACT. The talent is there. This group just has to stay on the field which means get and stay healthy and for Williams passing the ACT along with recovering from the knee injury.
The OL and TE's are really the only question marks but they have experience and talent. They just have to put it together and continue to improve.
For Debord just look at the positional breakdowns as there is plenty of experience and talent. The OL and TE's have some question marks there is bright spots even at those positions as Robertson, Richmond, Hall, Jack Jones, Boulware, Thomas and Mosley all seem to have talent and bright futures. Then you have some older guys like Kerbyson, Kendrick and Crowder who should be good mentors and are capable themselves. Wolf should be really solid at TE as I am expecting a big year out of him. Losing Marcus Jackson hurt but injuries are part of it.
I would give the edge to Jancek but it's hard to decide between Stripling and Martinez for the position.
