Offensive Line

  • Kolton Miller
  • Jonathan Cooper
  • Rodney Hudson
  • Gabe Jackson
  • Trent Brown
  • Brandon Parker
  • Jordan Devey
  • Denver Kirkland
  • Lester Cotton

Kolton Miller will look to be more consistent at left tackle after struggling through ups and downs as a rookie. Brown will take over as a powerful right tackle as a big-time free agent signing this offseason. Hudson and Jackson are two of the more underrated players at their positions in the NFL. I suspect Richie Incognito could be a cap casualty which leaves Cooper as the other starter along the line. Parker, Devey, Kirkland will provide solid veteran depth while Cotton is a powerful undrafted rookie who can provide more depth at guard.
