As someone who tries to put together a depth chart for opposing teams I know how difficult it can be sometimes. So I can't really "LOL Okwara at Dog" too much.
Obviously this depth chart means nothing really outside of the stone cold lock starters like Zack Martin, Eifert, Te'o, Slaughter, etc.
On the QB (paraphrasing):
"I look for the best production from this unit in the Kelly era no matter who plays."
RB
"Slightly down from last year losing the team's most explosive player (Gray), but a lot of talent across the board."
WR & TE
"Down a notch from last year with loss of Floyd."
OL
"Only 3 starters return but 65 career starts surpasses last year's 4 returning starters. This unit should be just as strong."
DL
"This unit should impress even with the loss of their top pass rusher."
LB
"Group has 11 VHT's (Very Highly Touted in Steele speak) and should be one of the best in the country."
DB
"Less experienced than last year but calling for better production."
Special Teams
"They should improve."
Forecast
"Most wins this season since 2006."
Michigan is ranked No. 22 by Mr. Steele.
