In my uninformed opinion: Day will shift to NT, with the big Ginger-head spelling him. That's an awkward prediction, as it shifts Tony to DT "permanently." The number three NT/DT will be the best freshman to be named later. If Holley comes, then it's him, and Hayes can be back-up DE. If Holley doesn't come, then it's probably Dickerson. That back-up position is likely to play when we do a lot of 4-3 in a game. I could easily see Sheldon and Tony running off the field in 2014 for a breather, and two of Holley, Hayes, or Dickerson running on in a 4-3 set.
To fill in the now almost completely missing DE positions, I "brilliantly predict" the Colossal Coming of Big Isaac as the true anchor there, and the surprising impact of a "speed DE" as the other guy [my favorite has always been Okwara, but depending upon who wins CAT between Romeo and Ishaq, maybe the other becomes that DE.] Back-ups? ---- the coming hoard of frosh plus the sleeping bear, Jones. [this is assuming that Chase Hounshell never gets physically able.] I would like to think that Jacob Matuska will be able to help us here, but I never hear anything [yet] about whether that's expected from what the staff is [early] seeing.
Add-on: it has just occurred to me the ripe potential for total confusion concerning 2014 verbal MDickerson as a NT, and 2013 preferred walk-on MDickerson as a NT. So who was I even talking about?? The 2014 guy, I guess, BUT I have a "romantic intuition" about 2013 MDickerson too. He seems to "want it" more than almost anybody.
