Heading into '22 the best defenders on the team are probably Vohasek, Murphy, Duck, Grimes, maybe Conley if he gets healthy enough. Gray has potential to be up here, and Ritzie might get up there.
These guys probably leave:
DL - Vohasek, Murphy, Noah, Collins. Anyone else leaving is probably leaving because they aren't a starter.
LB - nobody i hope. Though Gray, a true jr, could explode enough that he'd be a hot item on the NIL market or a potential late draftee.
Corner - Grimes, Duck. Hollins/Obi too.
Safety - Biggers, Chapman, Cam'Ron.
Nickel - nobody, unless Chapman is actually the starting nickel.
