6th or 7th is fair. None of these 3 have carried the rock all season like the first 5 have. For preseason purposes, you can't rank them any higher than 6th. Chubb, Webb, Hurd are all proven. None of our 3 are.... We don't even have a dedicated starter yet. I don't see this being a by committee thing either. Someone will emerge as the started after fall practice. I know you like more positive news, but I think either 6th or 7th place is fair for unproven guys. Hopefully, whoever the starter is will turn out to be a stud and we'll be praising him in November. ;-)
