Auburn Football: Predicting the Starters for Each Tigers Position in 2016

The deadline for NFL underclassmen draft decisions has passed, and teams all across the country are starting to get a better picture of their rosters for the 2016 season.

Head coach Gus Malzahn and his Auburn Tigers, who are heading into a make-or-break campaign this fall, lost several starters to the pros early but were boosted by the returns of several major playmakers.

With the 2016 offseason now in full swing and spring football still a couple of months away, let's project who will most likely be the starters for Auburn later this year.

Things can change in a hurry, with injuries, transfer decisions and new players breaking out in practice, but this is what a projected starting lineup—11 on offense, 11 on defense—would look like if the 2016 season started today.
