Not sure a depth chart makes sense per se, but I will try to lay out how I see it.

LT Frazier (Babs first in)
LG Link (Will be interesting to see if a Link injury would have Frazier move inside for Babs at LT. That's what I would do if I'm playing my best five.)
C Guarnera (Thought the Nebraska transfer might get this spot, but sounds like it would be Norton. Hamilton injury is a real bummer.)
RG Efobi (Gach is a factor here and I would imagine first off. Don't think they'd move Frazier to RG to get Babs on the field, but maybe?)
RT Sprague (Obviously a Frazier Babs move is possible here but don't sleep on Malakai Lee getting on the field, playing this year.)

DE John Henry Daley (the only true starter as of right now, and he likely has a pitch count for Western, full go for OU)
Dom Nichols (going to be intersting to see how rotations go, but I think Nichols will get the 2nd most or most snaps as of right now)
Cam Brandt (assume a big role for him still, but very little chatter on him. High floor, low ceiling?)
Lugard Edokpayi, Nate Marshall, Carter Meadows: All these guys are in the same group for me. Incredible physical tools, little to no experience, all massive breakout potential, too good not to play.
Tariq Boney and Benny Patterson: Similar to the above group, but possibly lag a step behind, but have a chance to be involved. In a weaker season would likely have a bigger roles. But there's just so many bodies there right now.

Back to the board

- Biggest concern for the Oklahoma game and you can't say injuries against Western.* - By ftb August 24, 2026 at 12:22:15 PM
  - Michigan's OL and DL have taken big steps this offseason, but Oklahoma dominated the trenches last year and their OL and DL groups are strong again this year. So how much as Michigan closed the gap, is it enough, what if it's not?* - By gbmcq August 24, 2026 at 12:27:59 PM

  - Damn sure.* - By gbmcq August 24, 2026 at 12:26:10 PM
- WR to lead in catches and yardage this season and WR with most TDs? - By Adamantiumblue August 24, 2026 at 12:21:08 PM
  - We are doing this on a show soon, and I am struggling to decide. My gut is Marsh for receptions and yards, and JJ for touchdowns.* - By gbmcq August 24, 2026 at 12:25:52 PM
- beard manicure status? * - By Nikos August 24, 2026 at 12:12:45 PM
  - Scheduled.* - By gbmcq August 24, 2026 at 12:15:01 PM
- how doe you see the first, second and possibly third lines on OL and DL? - By Adamantiumblue August 24, 2026 at 12:11:43 PM

- Michigan Basketball ceiling?* - By mwild August 24, 2026 at 12:09:46 PM
  - Final Four, which means a Natty. I think a lot of luck is involved to win it all, but if Dusty was here people would be talking Final Four. Boynton has had a near perfect offseason considering how things went down, so until shown otherwise, I am optimistic.* - By gbmcq August 24, 2026 at 12:16:00 PM
    - If Dusty were here I’d agree* - By mtb August 24, 2026 at 01:32:04 PM
      - You said “this is why they aren’t winning shit this year” last year.* - By MasterBates August 24, 2026 at 02:37:17 PM
        
        About who? You just make shit up clown. Get off my nuts* - By mtb August 25, 2026 at 02:59:03 AM
        
        Continuing… there’s no fucking way I said that about last year’s team. Best roster and coach of my lifetime and I was aware of that before the season even started - By mtb August 25, 2026 at 03:36:21 AM
- Do you think Mason Curtis will line up like a LB in a significant number of his snaps?*** - By Craig August 24, 2026 at 12:00:16 PM
  - Yes. I think Jay Hill wanted Faletau Satuala to transfer to Michigan for a reason. Mason Curtis is the exact same height and weight (not saying the exact same player) but I think you can draw conclusions on his role. (embed) - By gbmcq August 24, 2026 at 12:05:21 PM
- What is your test to determine when August hype about a player is genuine? (nm) - By GritsGoBlue August 24, 2026 at 12:00:07 PM
  - I feel like I have enough first and second hand connections across multiple source types (coaches, players, parents, observers, former players, etc.) that if there is a common strand among them, and public comments match that intel, I'm buying.* - By gbmcq August 24, 2026 at 12:02:25 PM
