With everyone staying for next season, our defensive line (or maybe just DE) is packed with depth. 

At DE you have Lewis, Hubbard, Holmes, Bosa, Berry and Cooper.

At DT you have Jones, Landers, Hill, Hamilton. 

I know we regularly saw the rushmen package with Holmes and Bosa playing inside on 3rd down in passing situations, and we rotated quite a bit throughout the games as well. I feel like you don't get to see full potential from some guys when they are sharing time at a position and splitting series, like Bosa for example. He looks like a much more natural fit at DE, but he'll split time there with Hubbard.

Any thoughts as to if the DL will look the same in the coming season as it did last, or will there be some changes?

Am I crazy to think that Hubbard could drop a few pounds and play LB? The guys would be a monster in the middle, after all, he's got the speed and cover ability from playing safety in high school.
