QB- Rogers has won the job. He should only get better and better. I honestly wouldn't mind a grad transfer that maybe wants to go into coaching or something that's willing to be the back up just for depth purposes. Robertson is going to be really good too- but Will has played very well and Robertson won't be here until May so I can't really see him winning the job unless he is a Peyton Manning 2.0. If Robertson is Peyton Manning 2.0 I won't complain.

RB- Marks and Johnson are going to be solid. Both need to hit the weight room and develop which they will since they are freshmen. I'd kind of like to see Witherspoon take a step forward if he can. I agree with people that say that Marks and Johnson don't have that "wiggle". We need a back that can make people miss in space.

WR- Heath and Walley are emerging. Austin Williams is solid and has good hands. I think Tulu will emerge next year. Payton will possibly be back from what I have heard. We'll see what Nabors and Knox can give us and how quickly they can adapt- that's going to be a big key next year. Jacobi Moore will play a lot too. I'm curious about what Caleb Ducking can give us- I really liked his film but he's an unknown right now. I wouldn't mind trying to find a grad transfer that can play slot receiver for us that can make people miss in space to take some pressure off of the freshmen. Maybe Spivey will have a big year next year.

OL- Cross reminds me of Sherrod. I knew Sherrod was going to be good but he took some lumps as a freshman and sophomore. Cross has the talent to potentially be a first round pick though. Cole Smith needs to work on snapping. Clearly. Hevesy's recruiting killed us this year which is why we are having to start freshmen and sophomores across the board almost outside of Parker and Eiland. Lashley will probably move on.

I think we go:

LT- Cross
LG- Cole Smith, Kam Jones or Sharp
C- Smith or James Jackson. Really could use a JUCO or grad transfer center. I think Smith improves and wins the job.
RG- Dollar Bill, Kam Jones or Jackson or one of the JUCO's
RT- One of the JUCO's or Dollar Bill/Kam Jones

OL is going to have a lot of competition in the spring and offseason.

DL- Since no one is expecting Jones or Spencer back I think we go with Pickering at the NT spot and then move Crumedy to DE along with Jordan Davis at the other spot. Cam Young can play back-up NT adequately. I know we're looking at the JUCO/grad transfer market for DE's and that will affect what we do with Davis/Crumedy.

LB- This group should be solid even with Errol probably moving on. Brule is maybe our best player on defense and Wheat was starting to emerge before he had to quarantine. Navonteque Strong probably wins the MLB spot and his film is very impressive.

CB- Emerson and Forbes are legit SEC corners. And they're still young. We should be good here for the foreseeable future.

S- Getting Peters back next year will help and Duncan should improve as well. I really like Shawn Preston a lot and Londyn Craft has done a good job outside of the Alabama game. I just hope that Janari Dean and JP Purvis are healthy. I could see MJ Daniels and Corey Ellington playing a lot too somewhere in the secondary. We really need to get the K-State transfer and hope that he is legit. I'm not sure what we will get out of CJ Morgan unfortunately because I just don't think he will ever be 100%.

K/P/LS- We should be fine here next year. Ruiz and Christmann have both done it before in the SEC. Same with Day and Bowman. Blackwell is a good LS.

KR/PR- It would be great if we could find a gamebreaker but the current group is fine- Williams, Tulu, and Witherspoon. The way teams kick the ball nowadays you really just need guys that are going to be able to catch the ball and make good decisions more than anything else.

Overall- We're going to be better because we're going to get more reps, be stronger and hopefully not have to deal with a pandemic. I think we will also be hungry and have a chip on our shoulder next year. I'll be interested to see if some guys that we assumed were gone surprise us and come back to go out on top. I don't know how many games we have left but whether it's one or two hopefully our guys go out and finish strong.
