I also don't think that Pickett will slide into an only back-up spot when he loses the battle for NT. I see him and Raji switching between NT and DE. Something like they're doing with Ngata in Baltimore.
One last thing that I'm hoping for is that Lee has beaten out Blackmon for the nr. 4 corner spot. He has to show some progression in my eyes. He doesn't have to be an amazing corner or something just yet, but I'd like to see him beat out Blackmon at least.

I think the DL rotation will consist of picket, raji, jolly, harrel, jenkins and one more guy(perhaps wynn, considering how they like to hold onto their draft picks). And i think we'll see most of these guys rotating in at multiple positions. With Picket, Raji and Jolly(in that order) seeing some time at NT, and all 6 seeing time at DE. To me this looks like a very strong rotation if everyone stays healthy. I think they also stash one or two of the more unknown NT type players on the roster on the PS.
As far as Lee goes, i would love to see him surpass Blackmon, but he seemed very raw last year. We'll have to see how that plays out, really i'm just glad that there are 5 guys who will see playing time at corner before bush.
Sorry if i was a little confusing with the nature of the thread, but what i meant to represent was what i thought the starting lineup will be on opening day, based on what has happened in OTAs. Not so much the OTA depth chart as it is now. I will probably update this every once in a while as things progress through training camp.
