PrintThe Broncos have yet to release an official depth chart, but who needs official when you have probably-biased, definitely-speculative best guesses? I watched a spring practice or two. I have deductive reasoning. Let's give this thing a try.
After the jump, take a look at my best guess at the two-deep roster for the Boise State football team. Starting lineups in the spring game were taken into consideration as well as injured players and their expected recoveries, as my zero years of medical experience informs me. Enjoy, and feel free to share your thoughts and critiques in the comments.

Disagree with any of the depth chart? Think I'm giving Chris Potter too much credit? Never heard of Zach Waller before? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Tyler Horn on the two deep? Behind Clark Kent!?
Thats a mean feat coming of a grayshirt!
Note: Was kinda impressed by Horn at the spring game.
Note: Unimpressed when he got pancaked by Nate Potter and driven upfield 10 yards.
Kirby –
The one catch I saw him make was great. Mid-air, plucks the ball, body shielding defender, great catch. I want him to start over Potter.
Dan Paul is a man made of granite and stone.
Aaron Tevis and JC Percy is an OR.
I agree with Febis starting SS, seemed to me at the spring game Ioane was still having to think about what he was doing before he did it.
I once meet Coach Pete and shook his hand. I knew at that very moment, I had touched God.
whatever happened to Marshall being the next great DE??

They may need to find a new position for him
If he can’t put on weight, he will need to find another position to play. He has been here since the ’09 season and yet he is still too light for the line.

Playing DL is a waste with that speed
He should be at LB or S or even RB or WR.
I think the seconds on defense
could win the WAC. Hell the seconds on offense could win the WAC as well. Maybe we could get 2 BCS births for going undefeated in the MWC & the WAC.

We had "thirds" at the DT until Nisby got kicked, but there was a guy I've never heard of in there that did real well.
I’ll pos this name tomorrow-forgot to bring roster to work. Paradis worked in at center-luv this guy. I luv all the 8 man players from Council etc-what heart. To play Pee Wee style football in hs then walk on-he needs a wheelbarrow to carry his (bw)s in.

Are you thinking of Jungblut?
Justin Jungblut had his name mentioned a couple times during the game because of his great play including a tackle for loss.

found mine
- David Ciushing? 6ft 267 fr. from Caldwell. He was the only other one on roster that I could find that I did not know.

The D-line has some great athletes,
and we should try rotating some of the big guys in at linebacker.
we already do
McClellin drops into coverage regularly and had a couple of picks downfield. Billy Winn stood up and dropped back into coverage. He will even line up as the middle linebacker occasionally
Drop an end into coverage and blitz—-and Andy Dalton will put his confused face on.

I was want to express...
my gratitude for OBNUG! I love this blog/website/whatever it is. Thanks for keeping us up to speed on everything. Don’t know what I would do without you guys!

Can't praise this place enough!
For awhile I counted on ESPN and Google news to keep me up to date, but now all I do is look up OBNUG for my Bronco fix. Nothing compares to the joy of reading the hard facts and biased fanboy speculation blended into sweet cocktail where it doesn’t matter which is which! Also, during the season I also really enjoy listening to the Bronco Nation Podcast http://blueturfnation.com/topic/bronco-nation-podcast/.
Yes, OBNUG is the greatest.
Winn at middle linebacker.

Agreed
Winn middle linebacker or defensive end, maybe even corner back heck fullback Qb in the wild cat. Where couldn’t he play. I almost feel sorry for the wolf pack when Billy gets his revenge.

Winn moved out to CB towards the end of the scrimmage.
It was like watching a mountain move. Slow but incredibly imposing.
