This is the deepest team we’ve had in quite a while. Hopefully Kenny can figure it out or it’ll all be for naught

Very deep team, lookin forward to this season. O-Line is the key, Pickett will be fine.

Where was drake on the depth chart?
Was he expected to start? Play much? Or just compete for some playing time?
Which cornerbacks will be playing other than the 2 seniors

Definitely building quality depth at most positions. O-line is still a question mark. Can any of the young guys really step up in the future? Also, the number of guys at DE makes you wonder if 1 or 2 might be candidates for position switches.
