Projecting Jaguars defensive depth chart after roster cutdowns

With the Jacksonville Jaguars' initial 53-man roster set, what might the depth chart on defense look like heading into Week 1 of the regular season?

I'm confident in projecting the top three players at this position, but less sure about whether we will see more of Striggow or Williams early on. Thomas Jr. could have a similar trajectory as Green and Striggow did last year, where his role early on is more special teams.

Dickerson will back up Armstead, and Regis will back up Hamilton. We will see how Orhorhoro is rotated in, but he likely sees the field on passing downs.

My early guess is we see Miller on the field during running downs and Combs on the field during passing downs. Gardeck will be the third linebacker in base defense and also rush the passer. Tavai will be a heavy special teams contributor.

Hunter and Brown will be the outside cornerbacks with Lewis at the nickel. Jones can play both inside and out, and I imagine that Anthony Campanile will find some ways to get him on the field. Braswell provides outside cornerback depth.

The third safety will see his share of snaps in Campanile's defense. Huskey impressed this summer and could still be in the mix with Ransaw for those reps. Lane will be a key special teams contributor again.
