Thoughts:
- I think the offensive skill positions turned out as expected. Don't see any TE including Cam playing a ton outside of blocking formations.
- Estime will be a starter. Love the speed/playing making of Estime, Twao and Phillips combined with Steady Stevie. Best WR unit we have had since Lemon/Sales/West and certainly more athletic.
-RBs will be better than last year, these guys can play. Very optimistic about this whole unit moving forward.
- Conway is a nice surprise. Had been hoping he would jump Lasker. McGloster looks like an absolute beast, hopefully it translates. We have some nice size on the O-line. This group will surprise people I think.
- The big story is the DL. I think Coleman is going to be a pass rushing stud BUT for this year he may struggle in vs run blocking and against ACC competition in general. Usually DE is a hard position for true freshman to be very good at early. Maybe he is a diamond. Staff had to move Slayton, I think he moves back inside next year. Pickard, IMO, just doesn't rush the edge well enough yet to start. DTs will be fine. Very excited about McKinley.
- We may get beaten down in the run game, but we do have some athletic LBs who can run. Think this group can play the Tampa 2 coverage responsibilities.
- As for DBs, the starters encourage me, the depth is scary. If we can stay healthy here, we may be alright.
- Overall, young roster with talent. Only 9 seniors on 2 deep and most don't start. I can't wait for friday, but I really can't wait for 2017
