All of our starters from last year return, and boy are they getting old. Most significant was the aging process of SLB Joseph Watford, whose scout evaluations dropped by about 10% in the offseason. He's still a very good 'backer, but we won't be able to count on him like we have in the past. Grant Wash has also been in a slow decline over the last few seasons, but should continue to be good enough over the middle. Trujillo, our positional leader, will likely grab the weak-side spot, with King providing a versatile backup to all three positions. Jarrard provides some solid depth, Richardson is a long-term project, and Denehey is a meat shield.
Next up: the secondary.
