Re: 2017 Defensive Depth Charts
Stanley Jones is 6-3 not 6-2, typo. If Caleb Butler is the starter, I even like our depth more than before. Our 2nd unit is starting quality. Justice Kelly seems kind of light.
I'm excited to see what Quin Alo can do. Dude is strong.

Okay, here is the elephant in the room: Does Board start all year, or will Cox overtake him?

Marcus Williams and CJ Smith want to say hello from the NFL.
Re: 2017 Defensive Depth Charts
DL depth is scary good: Karcz, Darnell, Alo, and Derrek Tuszka are essentially the third line this year.
Hope Dom Davis makes a jump this year, excited to see Cox gets plenty of reps in the OOC games.

DeLuca at OLB should be interesting. FCS doesn't see 245lb OLBs...

Especially ones that are ridiculously athletic, fast, and assassinesque hitters with the will to win at all costs.

I think everyone wants that next generation 6-2 corner but I still think a 5-11, 6-0 200 pound corner is the norm even in the NFL. Once you get over 6-2 it's rare to find athletes who are fluid enough to play corner. Even the Vikings only have 2 corners over 6 feet
