Starting lineup projections - offense

Pure speculation here from limited information that's been disseminated along with gut feelings, recruiting rankings, needs, etc. Looks like the positions up for grabs are as follows:
QB, RB, WR2, Slot Receiver, TE/H-Back/fullback, RG

I'm picking the following:

QB: Hooker. Surprise! We will utilize a ton of short throws. Edge to him being the taller QB, with a bigger arm when we do go deep, and more elusiveness when we need escapability. Jackson would have a tougher time throwing over the middle and Bush has accuracy concerns which doesn't bode well for a short passing game.

RB: McMillian with McClease a close second option. Interchangeable really as McClease fits the mold better for the quick passing game we will utilize.

WR2: Kumah. A natural receiver, a little larger with sure hands, possession type.

SLOT: Pimpleton. Will come around on jet sweeps as well to open the edge. May return punts also as Stroman will start as DB with nagging injuries to Facyson.

TE/HBack/FB: We will go with a 3 WR set most of the year. With 1 RB that leaves either a TE or a FB but not both. Keene 60% Peoples 40%. Keene provides more versatility, and is ready to go right away. In goal line situations Cunningham will replace Pimpleton to give a greater run blocking presence and as a larger red zone target. Look for Petit on sure running downs, hopefully won't tip our hand.

RG: Osterloh. Has been steadily earning time and finally arrived. And will play 85% of the last plays and have a great year!

Thoughts??
