Obviously a lot of movement yet to come but thought I would post what I have after all the activity yesterday. Guys that started 6 games for Purdue this season are in bold. Also tried to classify the transfers without possible covid waivers. MIght be wrong on a couple of those though.
On offense we obviously have Aidan coming which is huge. I have to think the coaches believe Brooks will factor in big if they added him as a grad transfer. James will likely get every opportunity to play and I think Brohm wants to have 3 guys to use at the position. Academic questions are looming around Wright but I went ahead and included him. ARY isn't shown but he would obviously slide in should something happen to him or the others. TE remains unchanged. I am guessing Moussa will be the primary backup at both OG positions but I listed a different one for each position just to show the depth available.
DE positions will be interesting to follow through the offseason. Sullivan and Jenkins are favorites to start currently but I know coaches are looking for more here. Either way both will likely play a lot. Good opportunity for Strickland and Caraway to play immediately. I doubt either are starters but the LEO position is pretty wide open from a depth standpoint. Went ahead and moved Anderson inside. Not sure he has the explosiveness for DE but the coaches had to be playing him for a reason. Coaches didn't seem too worried about the LB position. Graham is a revelation and Brothers showed some potential this season. Given that Wahlberg was usually the first on the field in mop up duty I slotted him in at MLB. Will be interesting to see if we see more Saunders or Washington in more non ST duty. I figure Trice and Brown are the favorites to start at CB. Hampton and Denson will be the first off the bench/slot. Romphf is probably 5th here but it looks like he needs a bit more development. Allen and Grant come back with their starting roles. Sounds like Jefferson wants to come back and the coaches want him back so I kept him on for now. Kane maybe moves back to S with the addition of Hampton and Denson.
