Hard to say we are really loaded anywhere although we have plenty of "diamonds in the rough" players.........

Margus Hunt absolutely gets drafted.
Replaced by Beau Barnes. Holloway might be the second coming of Reggie White, but hasn't played football in more than a year, and had a limited career in high school. I hope he's as good an athlete as you suggest, but he'll have a lot of catching up to do.

Ja'Gared Davis gets picked on Day 3 of the Draft.
Replaced, at least at first, by Rob Seals, but I agree that Lincoln Richard has an awful lot of promise.

With a big year, Taylor Reed gets drafted late.
Randall Joyner and Keviun Pope will start inside next year.

Zach Line gets drafted late.
My guess for his replacement: Prescott Line.

Seniors who could get free agent looks:
Torlan Pittman, Blake McJunkin, Bryan Collins, Darius Johnson

maybe I missed it while out of town but did Holloway get cleared by the NCAA? Did he even enroll? I know he was headed to Dallas but that doesn't mean he was cleared

Wimbley is still very raw. He won't ever be a 10 carry guy in my opinion.

Williams is coming off a major injury.

Line has a great brother, but that means nothing until he gets on the field.

We have a lot of potential, but I think saying we're loaded is a bit premature.
From what I saw in practice, Nlemchi wasn't struggling with anything,. His blocking had improved, he is built like a tank, and he is fast. There is a reason he was clear second string for part of camp.

The only reason he isn't seeing time is that either 1) he is injured or 2) he violated a team rule.

Well, either way, he's not getting any PT. So it's hard to say we're stacked because he's in the stable. From what everybody is saying, GG is awesome in practice. How has that translated under the lights?
