up

1)  WR Trent Taylor
2)  DE Khalid Kareem
3}  OG Xavier Su'a Filo- right now looks to be game 1 starter
4)  Markus Bailey
5)  Trey Hopkins

down

1} OG Jackson Carman  
     
2} WR Auden Tate
    in perspective, just not the camp MVP...has had a few drops

3}  DT Larry Ogunjobi
'     hasn't seen the field

4}  Austin Siebert
     again perspective, has made 13 of 15 kicks one of the misses being a 60 yard.  McPherson has made 14 of 15 missing only that 60 yarder (had enough length though}.  Siebert is doing enough to be signed to another team.  Of course, we still have to see them in a game

5] RB/WR Pooka Williams
   

Very encouraged that guys that could have been backup guards are stepping up.  Competition improves the breed and last year there was none. 

Ogunjobi is my biggest concern, given the importance of his position.  I can't help but think if Shelvin, Tupou/Wren step up big time, that Reader might be lining up at 3T.  

Khalid Kareem  has been a bit of a forgotten man for me, but glad to see the competition of Ossai and Sample arriving (as well as Hendrickson) have pushed him to be his best.  

High character guys rise in the face of competition....and we are seeing that across the board.  Coincidentally, it appears the much-maligned Darius Phillips has been his inconsistent self.  Coaches must know something there and never wanted to rely on him.
