Auburn's 2014 Pre-Spring Practice Depth chart prediction for the 2014 season. 
Obviously there are some major changes that can/will happen and some unheralded guys could step up, hopefully, and shake things up a bit. These are just the predictions I've got for now.



QB
Nick Marshall
Jeremy Johnson

RB-
Peyton Barber (both CAP and Mason called him the best back on campus)
Cameron Artis-Payne
Roc Thomas
Corey Grant

WR
Dhaquille Williams
Sammie Coates
Ricardo Louis
Marcus Davis
Tony Stevens
Jaylon Denson
Melvin Ray
Stanton Truitt (my sleeper in the 2015 class)

TE-
CJ Uzomah
Brandon Fulse

H-Back/FB
Ricky Parks
Jakell Mitchell

OL
1.Shon Coleman-Alex Kozan- Reese Dismukes - Chad Slade - Avery Young
2. Patrick Miller -Jordan Diamond -Xavier Dampeer -Deon Mix -Braden Smith

DL
Carl Lawson - Gabe Wright - Montravius Adams - Elijiah Daniel
Ladarius Owens - Angelo Blackson - Ben Bradley - Davonte Lambert
also in rotation: Jeffrey Whitaker, Keymiya Harrell
possibly contributing: Justin Thornton (if heavy enough), Andrew Williams and Dontavius Russell

LB
Kris Frost - Cass McKinzy
Tre Williams - Anthony Swain
Cameron Toney - Justin Garrett (if not playing Star)

CB
Jonathon Mincy
Nick Ruffin
Joseph Turner (JUCO guy)
Jonathan Jones
Kalvarez Bessent (likely to RS, IMO, unless he adds 20 lbs before fall camp, but he's a May enrollee so that could help)

STAR
Robenson Therezie
Derrick Moncrief
Justin Garrett
Mackenro Alexander

Safety
Jermaine Whitehead
Joshua Holsey (could move back to corner, if needed)
Khari Harding
Brandon King
Stephen Roberts


With Auburn this year, it is very clear that our strength is on the OL and DL, but that we will also be greatly improved at the skill positions. If Nick Marshall can improve his passing acumen as he did moving along the year and take it up another notch next season, then Dhaquille Williams and Coates will be a nightmare for defenses to cover in addition to Marshall running the read option. Our offense should be ridiculous this year.

On Defense we return almost everyone (except Dee Ford and Chris Davis) and are adding a very talented recruiting class for depth. I think we will be greatly improved next year. Our DL will be great again, but I think our LB play will be the biggest improvement overall if Frost and McKinzy can just play like they did against FSU all year. The secondary is the biggest question mark on the entire team. Can we improve there with the big infusion of talent we signed in the '14 class? If so, we could have a top 5 scoring defense in the SEC again, and dramatically improve the ypg numbers we gave up last season
