Defensive tackle for 2019 looks to be hard hit by graduation and departures.
Lee Autry looks to be back but some defensive ends may have to move over.
Younger players will have to step up.
Linebackers, however, look to return everyone. Maybe some lb's can move to de.
Overall, with some talent returning in the secondary, I think we will have a solid 2019 defense however.

The interior of our DL is where we will feel the losses most next year- in terms of top end talen but also depth. We lose a lot at safety too but should be okay there with Cole, Landrews, Peters, Murphy, Morgan, etc.

Sure we will. We may not be dominant in the trenches, but we will be more than serviceable.

Rivers, Autry, Spencer and Adams are all seniors and good players. Some dude named Kendell Jones, I've never heard of him, but he'll be a senior. Then you've got Kobe Jones as a junior. Jackson as a sophomore. Young, Lovett, Robinson and Crumedy as second year freshmen.

Just like I've repeatedly been saying, next year won't be the rebuild year. That will be 2020 because Merlinz, between 2016 and 2017, only put together about one real class. He stacked up the upperclass for this year so he could get out.

What's the feeling on N. Pickering?

He's our highest rated commit...is he going to step in and contribute or will he be redshirted?

Somehow we have Fabian Lovett listed as DE but at 335 he will definitely be a DT and should be a good one.
