Official Michigan Depth Chart for Saturday

I like that actually, considering the way we line up in kick returns. Iirc Norfleet was lined up at the endzone line (where most kicks go these days), while Vince was lined up a few yards further up and off to the side. This means Smith was the lead blocker most of the time, which fits his skillset well (and not Furman's). It's possible that Furman is still 2nd string at Norfleets position, and that that position is seperate from Smith's.

Counterpoint: see Matt McGloin.

Really, the OL is the only position group that will be hit hard (unless  you count QB as a position group, in which case, yeah).  Losing our TE starter won't be as big once AJ and The Funchess aren't frosh and we get Butt and Hill on campus.  Losing Roundtree won't be a big deal (because it's not 2010 anymore) and because Gardner, Darboh, and hopefully Treadwell.  

On D, we lose 2 DL, 1 LB and 2 DBs.  Outside of Kovacs, none of those are Mike Martin or Brandon Graham type losses, and the guys coming in for them are pretty good, in most instances.  OL will be the DL of next off-season, but outside of that we'll look strong.

Our replacements on Oline should be solid by then, though. Kalis, Miller, and Bryant look to step in, all at over 300 lbs by then. Miller and Bryant will have had 2 years in this system by then, too, and Kalis is a beast. If Lewan leaves then we still aren't really in trouble because our schedule looks really light that year and his replacements are Schofield (likely,) with Braden, Magnuson, (possibly Kalis,) (possibly AJ Williams,) and walkons Gunderson, Mateus, Glasgow, and Gibbs as the depth chart at Tackle. By Sparty and Nebraska we'll have played 7 games and had 2 bye weeks for them to settle in.

Agreed.  And even many of the ones that are "replaced" next year won't exactly be Mealer replacing Molk type situations.  

Examples:

Demens being replaced by Bolden or Ross.  Whoever it is, this will likely not be a drop-off.  
Roundtree being replaced by Darboh, Robinson, Chesson or whoever else.  He's a nominal starter anyway, this won't be a drop-off.  
Starting TE replaced by AJ or Funchess.  
BWC replaced by Pipkins (ish).  This might not be an exact replacement, but it sort of will be.
One of the OGs being replaced by Kalis.  This will mitigate things.
Even our secondary replacements won't be so bad since guys like Raymon Taylor and Avery are getting a lot of snaps, same with Jarrod Wilson at S.  

Basically, there's a lot of proven talent who will come in for most of the departing seniors.  OL - fuck.

I think the one guy in that role, about whom you could say he was the best guy on the field on those special-team downs.  Shades of Darnell Hood.
