After re-watching the Spring game , here is my guess on the depth chart:
QB: Cook/O'Conner
RB: Holmes or London
WR: Burbridge/Troup
WR: Arnett or Madaris
Slot: Kings/Shelton
LT: Conklin/Beedle
LG: B.Allen/Machado or McGown
C: J.Allen/B.Allen
RT: Clark/Clemons
RT: Kieler/Machado or Padla
DE: Calhoun/Cooper or Sweat
DT: Heath/E.Smith
NT: McDowell/Knox
DE: LT/E.Jones
Sam: Davis/Frey
Mike: R.Bullough/S.Jones
Star: Harris/Harrell
CB: Edmondson/Calquhoun
SS: Nicholson/Meyers
FS: Williamson/Cox
CB: Cox/Copeland or Hicks
OL and DL depth is very impressive. Starters on both lines are proven. I was impressed with Beedle and Padla at T, both look like future starters. I was also impressed with Machado, but more so at LG than T. E.Jones looks like a player at DE. He will get some PT this year. We have 3 proven guys at DT (4 of you count LT), but it would be nice to see another guy step up so we can keep LT at DE full time. My guess is E.Smith. Having Knox back should really keep the DL from wearing down. Hard to see any real separation between Cooper and Sweat at this point. Both will get some PT in relief of Calhoun.
WR/RB both looked decent. But I thought the game was a good reminder of just how much we lost in Lippett and Langford. Both are more likely to be replaced by committee rather than by any one individual. I'm not sure we have a 1000 yard receiver or a 1000 yard rusher next year... but we don't need that either.
Looks like we are in store for a major improvement at LB. R.Bullough looked great at Mike. Nothing against T.Jones, good player, but R.Bullough really has great instincts at Mike. Didn't notice Davis much, but I thought Harris looked a step faster. Depth overall is better than last year with Frey, S.Jones and Harrell.
CB/S are always hard to judge in that type of setting. Edmondon probably looked the best at CB. Hard to say if either Copeland or Calquhoun are ready for prime time yet. Both had some + plays, but both struggled a little too. They still have fall practice to continue improving. Didn't notice Hicks much at all, but that could be a good thing. Nicholson is going to have a huge year for us and Williamson and Cox are proven commodities.
