The Seniors are gone after this year but there are some positions that I think will be wide open in 2014 such as RG, RT, and C.


LT
74 Ereck Flowers So. (starter)
79 Malcolm Bunche Jr. (can be the starter but he will end up being a filler)
76 Taylor Gadbois RFr. (I think he may follow in Bunches foot steps)
Reilly Gibbons

LG
70 Jon Feliciano Jr. (starter)
64 Hunter Wells So.
67 Alex Gall Fr. (will have some say so in 2014)

C
62 Shane McDermott Jr. (I think he will go pro, would love him to stay next year for his SR season though... starter)
75 Jared Wheeler Sr. (last year)
54 Hunter Knighton Fr.
Nick Linder

RG
65 Brandon Linder Sr (last year... starter)
63 Danny Isidora RFr.
Trevor Darling

RT
77 Seantrel Henderson Sr. (should have a great year this year... last year... starter)
66 Sunny Odogwu Fr. (will RS)
K.C. McDermott (will come in 2014 and maybe pass up Sunny)

What are your takes on this? I'm sure we will sign another OL in the 2014 class.

I am surprised you have McDermott leaving early. Not that I don't think he is a good C for us, but he doesn't get alot of pub and if means anything he does have his younger bro coming in this year... I just don't see it.
 
Shane McDermott is not leaving early and I think the starting 5 are already pretty locked up

2014 depth imo

LT: Flowers, Odogwu/Gibbons
LG: Feliciano, Darling, Wells
C: McDermott, Knighton, Linder
RG: Isidora, Gall
RT: Bunch, Gadbois/McDermott
 
McDermott stays to play a yr w/ his bro....jmo.

This, and rarely do centers leave early. Even elite centers struggle to make it into the 1st round. IMO he stays to play with KC for a season and improves his draft stock as a 3 year starter.

I doubt McDermott leaves early. I also think that Felicano is the one you should be concerned about (in terms of leaving early). Bunche will play tackle next year (2nd Team) and likely in 2014 start. I think the key will be replacing Linder, good thing we have a few potential guards in training (Isadora, Gadbois etc.).

T: Flowers
T: Bunche
G: Felicano
G:
C: McDermott

This 2013 O-Line can be special, although I am concerned with our new OC, there are so many weapons and our OL is so good that I think we will put up more points than last year.
 
I'm not a fan of Bunche at either tackle spot. I hope a tackle can step up and Bunche starts at RG or continues as a very solid "utility lineman"
 
I'm going to hunt down and fight the next person who suggests that McDermott will turn pro after his junior year. Like seriously find you and beat the nightmare out of you.

If Bunche, Feliciano, and McDermott come back we will be the bomb!
LT Flowers
LG Bunche
C McDermott
RG Feliciano
RT Gadbois/KC

Doubt they all come back though.

I don't disagree with you but who do you see starting at OT?

BTW, McDermott will turn pro after this season...Haha, Just kidding. Don't want to get hunted down by anyone!
 
McDermott ain't gonna have the option to turn pro unless he wants to leave early for the 4th or 5th round

You are being generous there......
He leaves a 4th rounder after his senior year. I like the kid and think he is good but nowhere that good.
