If they get 80 combined starts from Whitworth, Saffold, Sullivan, Havenstein and Brown my guess is they're in great shape. But depth is a question. Most specifically who would be the top backup interior OL/backup center and the 3rd OT. Right now I have to guess Wichmann is a gameday backup. Does Eldrenkamp win a spot as the backup center? How do Murphy and Donnal fit (or do they)? Etc.

Notably, McVay has mentioned Donnal and not Wichmann. I think (at this point) Donnal is the #6 and if Eldrenkamp is showing anything, he would be back-up center. '

I guess.

I think 80 combined starts is a rare luxury. If they don't lose anyone for the season and have just 3-4 games worth of replacing starters (and not simultaneously) then when it comes to staying relatively healthy, they will be in as good a shape as they have been for more than a decade.
