I would love to hear both your opinions on this separately and obviously welcome any feedback from the board. If you had to analyze all this, how do you think the depth chart will play out on defense? Or what, in your opinion, is the best way to handle the depth chart? Who would you put at each position and why? It seems like we are a little overloaded at some positions and light on depth at others. Could something like this work?
wde gustin, murphy or isosefa or rector
sde iosefa betiku
nt marlon t(if healthy), pili
big de rector, tremblay, tufele
big de dorton or tremblay, tufele
ILB smith, iosefa
ILB houston or isofea, levi jones
s ross or bolden or IPM or Pollard
s tell, bolden or IPM or Pollard
cb marshall, langley, lockett johnson
cb jones, langley, locket or johnson
nickel harris, ross
The reason I put iosefa as a starter at Nwosu's old position is because I think he might be the best player on defense next year. I would not be surprised if he was drafted higher than cam smith after next year. And I think rector might go higher in the draft than gustin so he needs to be on the field somewhere too. I thought both Iosefa and Rector were a little better than gustin at the predator de position so maybe gustin could move somewhere. But where? The problem is that Gustin is probably not fast enough for Nwosu's weak side de position. And he not quite big enough for the Big DE position. Although maybe one of those positions could work. I would even consider starting Iosefa at ILB next to cam smith as those are our two best LB's.
Your thoughts?
