Re-guessing the Boise State football depth chart prior to the spring game

Information about the ins and outs of Boise State spring football practice has been tight, rendering any predictions of a Bronco two-deep depth chart as highly speculative at best and miles off at worst. I'll let you decide where my depth chart falls on that scale.

After the jump, I make an attempt to name a starter and a backup at each position, including the quarterback spot, about which I know nothing. It will be fun, like taking an SAT study course from a method actor who played a professor on a soap once.

Feel free to agree, disagree in the comments.

Note: The Boise State spring game is this Saturday, April 14, at 5:00 p.m. Read all about it here at OBNUG or spend the $7.00 and watch for yourself live and in person.

Footnotes ...

• If Nick Patti is indeed Boise State's second-best quarterback, is it worth burning his redshirt for spot duty of an injured or ineffective Joe Southwick?
• I took Jay Ajayi off the depth chart with great trepidation. Tell me he's going to go the way of Malcolm Johnson. Please, guys?
• Do you believe the Kirby Moore hype this spring? A small part of me thinks Chris Potter will find a way into the starting lineup, but that small part of me does not blog.
• That's a pretty good-looking offensive line, when healthy. Agree?
• When not healthy, does the depth at offensive tackle give anyone else the heebie jeebies?
• Samuel Ukwuachu: Starter. I'll probably need more convincing, but it sounds good for now.
• As an ode to depth charts of yore, I went with the popular OR designation at linebacker. Kyle Gingg-Dallas Dobbs shout out!
• I have no idea how the nickel battle is going, but I hear more about Corey Bell than anyone else.
• Sure felt good to put Jeremy Ioane's name in a starting lineup.
