Defensive Line (6)

  1. Cameron Heyward
  2. Stephon Tuitt
  3. Javon Hargrave
  4. Tyson Alualu
  5. LT Walton
  6. Joshua Frazier

I think the only change this year is that seventh-round pick Joshua Frazier beats out Dan McCullers for the sixth spot on the roster. I would imagine he would be inactive to start.

Outside Linebacker (4)

  1. Bud Dupree
  2. TJ Watt
  3. Anthony Chickillo
  4. Kione Adams

I think the first three are the same as last year. Kevin Colbert said Adams played well before his injury and I think he could be a younger option with more ability on special teams than bringing back Arthur Moats.

Inside Linebacker (5)

  1. Vince Williams
  2. Jon Bostic
  3. Tyler Matakevich
  4. LJ Fort
  5. Matthew Thomas

Jon Bostic will probably get the nod to be the mack linebacker as he probably has the best skills of the bunch. LJ Fort will make it as a special teamer. Matthew Thomas is an intriguing option and might be their best undrafted free agent.
