That was pretty accurate. A few things, though-the O Line is really looking for one starter, not two. The tackles are set, as are Reynolds and Render. The only question with Render is whether he starts at center or guard. If Banwart improves enough to bet the center job, Render can stay at guard. If not, Paulson or someone else is going to have to step up at guard and Render will be center.
I don't know why so many people forget about Matt Nelson. He made the transition from DE to DT last year and he is a solid player. Lattimore is 290 plus now and will be playing his third year. The D line looks like a solid and possibly spectacular group.
LB is going to be fine. They may take a while to get on the same page. Jones, Welch, and Neimann are going to be really good. Hockaday is a good player but has been hurt his entire career. Colbert is an interesting player. I am looking forward to see him develop.
Safety is the best it has been in a long time. Hooker will be a prospect for early departure.
CB is the biggest comcern on the entire team to me. There is a great opportunity for a young player to start.
I agree with the author that the talent level has improved. I also agree with 9-3.
