Bailey's projection is reasonable, but competitions might well change things, and we should expect at least a couple of grad transfers to upgrade positions.

I expect there will be a shake-up in the secondary.  Cordy was playing SS until he went down with injury.  He was backed by Ellison at SS, with Williams at FS.  I doubt Ward will want a small secondary that was underwhelming in 2016 -- which is what we would get with a combination of Hudson, Cordy and Ellison.  There are a number of candidates likely to push these 3 (including Bradshaw, Jones, Clark in addition to those named).  Might see Cordy moved to CB opposite Butler, with M. Williams and Foster at the safety spots.  Spring competition will be interesting.

I also expect there will be shuffling in the OL, trying to improve the run blocking.  3 of Shafer's recruits started in their second year (Conway, Adams & Byrne).  I would project 2 of Babers' recruits to be starters as RsF (Heckel & Clark).

And, I am guessing there will be grad transfers in a couple of the WR positions, where Butler and Moe Neal are penciled in above.  Babers is not done with this cycle.
