We could see some combination of this depth chart, depending on whether Ivey comes back, the health of Heggie, how Banks and Delance look in the spring and whether Forsythe continues to progress in the spring after a strong finish.
LT - Martez Ivey
LG - Brett Heggie
C - TJ McCoy
RG - Jawaan Taylor
RT - Stone Forsythe
Backups: Jean Delance, Noah Banks, TJ Moore, Kavaris Harkless, Fred Johnson, Tyler Jordan.
I'm not counting on anything from Riles, Buchanan or Mike. And although it would be a nice talent bonus at OT, not counting on Kadeem Telfort coming back either.
Harkless, Johnson and Jordan give you a ton of experience and versatility at backup center, guard or tackle as well as the option of moving Wanny back to OL if Forsythe or Ivey got hurt. Moore, Banks, Bleich and Delance are the wild cards as we don't know what they can do yet. But if Ivey came back, we'd be at least 8 deep with guys that have played a decent amount if you didn't want to have to count on new players like Delance, Banks, Bleich, or Moore.
TBH, that's not a bad OL, especially with improved coaching and an improved offensive scheme.
