Annual "WAAAY Too Early" Depth Chart ('16-'17)

Submitted by Mr. Yost on

Notes.

 

  1. I don't remove RS Sr's even though we know some of these guys aren't coming back - I don't predict transfers either (at least not on the depth chart)
  2. Odds say we're going to lose a RS Sr. that could actually contribute this year - not sure who, but it wouldn't shock me.
  3. I've got Jeremy Clark as the first CB or S off the bench. Gant as the first LB in James Ross' current role.
  4. I have no idea what happens at LB.
  5. I broke out the TEs - You've got Butt's spot and the Hill and Wheatley replacing AJ Williams' spot.

I wouldn't discount a few walk ons ending up on the depth chart. A Bobby Henderson type at FB for instance. Example: Glasgow bros both maintained their positions under Harbaugh. it seems clear to me guys will play based on performance in spring and fall camp regardless of year or scholarship/ walk on status.

No givens it appears under Harbaugh, he likes competitors and achievers.

Here is my feedback, some of it reiterating comments to other posts or in agreement with other posters:

~ O'Korn to start
~ Gentry could switch to TE and not redshirt
~ Viramontes could switch to LB and not redshirt
~ Deveon Smith at fullback
~ Derrick Green could move to LB ala Ian Gold
~ Johnson/Higdon will share snaps at tailback until one of the freshman come to the fore, esp if Walker signs
~ Mason Cole will move inside
~ Newsome to start at LT
~ Dawson and Kugler could push for starting guard/center
~ We may not have a buck position next year
~ Marshall to move to LB?
~ Glasgow/Mone could start at DT/Nose
~ Furbush/Gedeon/McCray the season at LB until pushed by freshmen or those moving from another position; or depth
~ Watson and Washington will push to start at CB/nickel
~ Dymonte Thomas could move over to RB; or take over Peppers' role
~ Peppers could move to fulltime RB and play defense part time/situationally i.e., redzone
~ Cole will push to start at safety
~ We need another grad transfer punter
