Here's my assessment of the various units:
OL: High individual ceilings; has not shown that the unit can operate cohesively; little depth
RB: Love's graduation leaves big shoes to fill; Scarlett is only back with significant experience, but a question mark if he can become the go to starter.  Behind him there is potential but little experience
WR: High potential and depth; little returning production
TE: Parkinson has the potential to be an elite receiving talent and major mismatch; unproven depth behind him
QB: Costello has experience and is coming off a very good season.  I've expressed some concerns about how well he will work with the new receivers.  Back-ups have ? (Mills' health, West's ability)
DL: Best combination of talent, depth, and experience in years; should be strength of the team
LBs: OLB's have talent, experience, and depth; ILB's don't
DBs: Same as LB unit; CB's could be elite; Safeties could be a problem

Overall, 7-5 (5-4) and Vegas bowl smacks me as about right. Question marks at OL, and holes at RB, LB, DB hold back what should be an above average to excellent passing attack and a fierce D-line.

BC

Agree with BC on 7-5.
OL: Agree with BC Lots of raw talent, but that's not enough. This unit needs to gel this year or Carberry needs to go
RB: If Scarlett gets the majority of snaps we're in trouble. Complete lack of breakaway speed means you can cheat on him if he breaks through the line because DBs can easily catch up with him
WR: Agree with BC on high potential and depth but we have no idea how they will handle game play
TE: Parkinson is a great receiver and brobdingnagian matchup problem there but his blocking is subpar at best. Is there any TE on the roster that justifies #TightEndU? I don't see one.
QB: It's the KJ show and that's it. Nobody behind him who can effectively run the offense at a decent level
DL: I hope BC is right but I'm not convinced. NT remains a concern.
LBs: ILB is a liability that should have been forseen & addressed two years ago via recruiting. Shame on Coach Anderson
DBs: Adebo is awesome but the rest leave much to be desired. That Antoine is penciled in as a starter is NOT a good sign for safeties

Looks like a rebuilding year
