Michigan's lack of experience going into 2017

Who can start or be quality depth as true or redshirt Fr will begin to be answered starting next week on Thur. Aug. 3rd.
The starters and the full depth chart will be established in the coming month.
But these 11-12 are my own W-a-G at the starters on D: Note the class/experience.

54. DT/NT Khairi Clark 6-2 319 rsJr - Hollywood
93. Dt Taven Bryan 6-5 300 rsJr - Casper, Wyo
17. DE Jordan Sherit 6=4 254 rsSr - Tampa
96. DE CeCe Jefferson 6-1 261 Jr - Glen St. Mary
--------

11. OLB Vosean Joseph 6-1 226 Soph - Miami
33. MLB David Reese 6-0 244 Soph - Farmington, MI
28. OLB Kylan Johnson 6-1 231 rsSo - Dallas, TX
Those guys all had starts in 2016.

50. OLB/Nic Jeremiah Moon 6-4 228 rsFr - Hoover, AL (a TE's nightmare)
-------

FS Marcell Harris rsSr went down for the season with a torn achilles, DB becomes an Aug ???
08. SS/Nic Nick Washington 6-0 197 rsSr - Jacksonville
07. CB/Nic/FS Duke Dawson 5-11 208 Sr - Cross City
23. CB/FS Chauncey Gardner Jr 5-11 204 Soph - Cocoa (Outback Bowl MVP)


Then a 4th starting DB job opens up with a long list (16 more ship DB's) competing for the starter's job, beginning with this guy.
29. DB/ST/S Jeawon Taylor 6-0 187 So - Montgomery, AL

With many of the DB's being able to play all over the secondary, I look for some position shifting to go on while they look for that 4th starter and 5th Nic starter. No matter who starts, I expect to see 6-8 play in the rotation.
