Depth Chart consolidation

OK. So in separate HABOTN entries during the past few days, I have offered my guesses about Auburn's depth chart. The team doesn't release depth charts per se, so what you see below is my best guess ... based on weeks of interviews and off-the-record chats with People Who Know Stuff.

DEFENSE
SDE: Mike Goggans, (Hot Carter), Dee Ford
DT: Mike Blanc, Zach Clayton, Derrick Lykes
DT: Jake Ricks, Nick Fairley
WDE: Antonio Coleman, Nosa Eguae, Zach Clayton/Cam Henderson
SLB: Craig Stevens, (Jonathan Evans), Ashton Richardson
MLB: Joshua Bynes, Harris Gaston, Wade Christopher
WLB: (Eltoro Freeman), (Spencer Pybus), (Jonathan Evans), Ashton Richardson
CB: Neiko Thorpe, Demond Washington
CB: Walt McFadden, Harry Adams
FS: (Mike McNeil), Daren Bates, Mike Slade, T'Sharvan Bell
SS: Zac Etheridge, Drew Cole/Mike Slade, (D'Antoine Hood)

QUESTIONS & OBSERVATIONS
* Quindarius Carr has been trained to play 9, 2 and 5. He's the true utility receiver.

* Where will Philip Pierre-Louis fit in considering he's already burned his redshirt season? Surely Derek Winter will redshirt. There's no room for him.

* Remember when Trooper Taylor was all hot n' bothered over walk-on Jay Wisner? He's still high on the kid, but where will Wisner fit into this deal?

* Will Kodi Burns really be the dynamic play-maker Gus Malzahn keeps describing? Is he even the real Wildcat guy? Tulsa's Wildcat guy in 2008, A.J. Whitmore, is 5-9 and 172. He looks and plays like Onterio McCalebb. Nobody will mistake Burns for McCalebb.

* Auburn is going to have to play a lot of nickel defense this season. The team only has two healthy, reliable linebackers. A nickel defense requires only two linebackers.

* Why did John Sullen, a true freshman, play ahead of Jared Cooper at RG when Isom went down?
