Other than the DL, which is obviously being hit the hard (although I'm not sure why gocard14 thinks Shittu is injury prone, I don't think he's lost any more games to injury than our other DL have over the past few years.  Remember that both Goose and Parry were hurt last year, and Parry missed games this year), I think I'm most worried about the DBs.  This is mostly an issue if Carter and Hoffpauir (baseball) are gone.  We'll be returning only 2 of the 6 DBs who saw regular action (Lyons and Harris, and that assumes they'll both take their 5th years).  Losing 3/4 starters would (and basically our three safeties) would be bad.  I am crossing my fingers that Hoffpauir decides he likes hitting people more than hitting baseballs, and that Carter doesn't break the trend of players staying for four years.

Terrence Alexander was getting a lot of playing time near the end of the season. While it's highly unlikely, the team could well be better off if he were a starting CB next year and Lyons moves to safety.

Am I the only one worried about Garnett leaving?

I got the impression from Garnett's recruitement that education was extremely important to him, so I doubt he leaves without getting his degree. But stranger things have happened.
