I am guessing

Lawson

Adams

Daniels?

Lambert

Cass

Frost

Williams

Jones

Matthews

Roberts

Ford/Moncrief

Also - as a new DC, if you found that a senior is not as good as a soph or freshman, would you make him 2nd string? Say for example, a linebacker?

Yes. You play who is the best not because of seniority.

My educated guess:

Lawson

Adams

Lambert/ Russell

Daniels/ Cowart

Cassanova

Frost

Garrett/ Williams

Jones

Holsey

Matthews

Ford/Moncrief

**With Muschamp, I believe the best player will play, including a freshman/ sophomore starting over a senior.

I think we will see a shake up from what everyone is expecting. The new coaches will be looking at things this spring with a fresh set of eyes and I expect some young guys to get a shot.

Most of the posters are real close to what I would have put. What will change things is if we get some of the big name DL's that are visiting. I don't think any will initially start but depending on who we get we could have 2 or 3 getting some real PT as Freshmen. If by chance we were able to pull Mack he might even be a starter by end of year. I watched him in All Star game against some real good players he has an unbelievably quick initial step for a man of his size. We haven't had a DT with that quick of a first step in a long time.

That is a big if but as an Auburn fan I can dream big.

Is that an official CeCe/Cowart prediction I see there?

Without CeCe/Cowart, I'd put Lawson / Kennion at Buck, Lambert / President at DE and Daniel / A. Williams at DT.

I hope we see Cowart starting next year.

That means he signs with us, and was able to step right up, just like Lawson did.

Even having Lawson back will be a HUGE difference, IMO. But with both in there, our pass rush should improve significantly.

Guys, even if Jefferson and Cowart sign, there is little chance they start day 1. Carl Lawson didn't even start his first game. Not saying it CAN'T be done, it's just highly unlikely.

Anyway, my picks for the start against Louisville (first game) even assuming we sign Jefferson, Cowart, and Holland...

DE Lawson

DL Adams

DL Daniels/Williams

DE Lambert

LB Frost

LB Mckenzie

LB Williams

CB Jones

CB Roberts/Ruffin

S Ford

S Matthews

**Nickel Back** Hosley

Im not sure on the 2nd DL spot or the 2nd CB

So Cowart and Cece can't start game 1 but Irvin can...?
