So now that we know whom we have going into camp, barring some unforeseen addition. It looks to be a solid group that will get the job done without much fan or media fare this season. Unless someone blows up and takes the job and runs wild with it.
So for me this is what I think I think (sorry had to go Peter King there LOL)!
Edge:
The starters to me will end up being Ebukam & Okoronkwo w/ next man up being a good role guy in Longacre and Thompson. I don't think it will take Okoronkwo long to over take Longacre due to his speed he offers and Longacre doesn't. But with his back injury I wonder if he will be able to contribute at a high level. Camp will give us that answer. Thompson I could see being replace by another teams surprise cut. He's just a JAG. I think with Ebukam & Okoronkwo we have two guys that can simply fly off the corners. Sickles & Price Can be replace at any point during camp or season imho.
Inside:
The starters will be Baron and Littleton. The next guy whom will get tons of snaps I think will be Kiser. Kiser I could see replacing Baron in short yardage, and a future starter in 2019. Littleton needs to show me he can be consistent every down, and I think he will over the season. It just may take a little time. Hager and Wilson are two players that can give us a few snaps without killing us but won't be starters.
In general Snead gave us a group of 3 at both spots that can play and this will help us down the stretch and into the playoffs. Its a lunch pail group on paper and I'm looking forward to seeing this group do a better job stoping the run and developing into a good group as a whole.
