Another thread got me to thinking about 2017 - don't want to put the cart before the horse but we know that this team will be losing a ton of talent to the NFL draft next year. There is/was a legitimate fear about what kind of team we will be returning, but I have to say, its looking much better than I initially thought. Most importantly, we'll be returning the most veteran QB we've had in a decade and solid depth on both lines. That's all you really need to build from.
I'm thinking (way in advance, admittedly), that the starting line-up in 2017 will look something like...
QB - Brandon Harris*
RB - Derrius Guice
FB - J.D. Moore*
WR - Jazz Ferguson
WR - Stephen Sullivan
WR - Dee Anderson/Tyron Johnson/Drake Davis
TE - Foster Moreau
OT - Maea Tuehema*
OG - William Clapp*
OC - Andy Dodd
OG - Garett Brumfield*
OT - Toby Weathersby*
DE - Glen Logan/Caleb Roddy
DT - Greg Gilmore/Edwin Alexander
DE - Frank Herron*/Rashard Lawrence
OLB - Arden Key*
MLB - Michael Divinity
MLB - Devin White*
OLB - Donnie Alexander/Devin Voorhies
CB - Kevin Tolliver*
CB - Savion Smith
FS - Ed Paris/Eric Monroe
SS - John Battle*
NB - Dontae Jackson *
* returning starter
Guys like Guice, Divinity and Savion Smith won't technically be returning starters, but I expect them to log a ton of PT this season. Those WR's in particular are going to blow some of you guys away. We have always had talent there (obviously), but these beasts are on another level...
