Sanders needs to stay right where he is. He and Davis as bookends shut down the outside.

I'm wondering what kind of player Yenga might turn out to be...and where Pope fits in

For me personally I have not seen potential in a player like I do in Sanders for a long time. If Yenga can move him out then all the better, but I think he has an unlimited top side.

I hope not. He should be a safety

Biggest concern next year: OL, OL, OL, and OL. Then, after that the secondary.

LB will be great, tons of depth, also at RB. QB we will be fine. At DL, As long as a frosh emerges opposite Hunt we will be fine. They look good so far.

OL is a huge concern. McJunkin is fine, Think Collins and Got are fine, but everyone else is completely, totally unproven.

the OL playing well is the difference next year between competing for a conference championship, and struggling to break .500.

I agree. I'm a huge JaGared fan but I think Sanders could be better NEXT year than JaGared will be.

Think they both are going to play inside.

OL will be a question mark until they prove otherwise but there are a lot of nice pieces there.

Sanders will stay right where he is-Defense will win plenty of games next year. All starters lost on defense are replaceable if Grenier and Hunt are back and remain healthy. Might be a few depth issues but we;ve got guys on the bench who are better than some starters in former days. Mason will develop some talented backups. Offensive Line is biggest questionmark. I look for a lot of growth at WRs from several players If we are talking about CUSA I don't see any reason for a step=back in the conference race.

Beau Barnes #94 will help with depth at DE. Had his first career sack at end of game Saturday.

We are pretty deep on the outside on D (DE, OLB, CB).

I'm starting to get less concerned about DT than I am about safety next year. Who replaces Banjo?

For some reason, I'm just not too concerned about the OL (probably should be) ... hopefully we have our starters set there during the Spring after some quality competition - very important that group has chemistry/good communications - having McJunkins come back at C will be huge for that ...
