Chili's depth chart has been updated for the spring game

As I look at it, this is the strongest secondary the Ducks have had in a while. Graham and Lenoir have reached maturity at corner, and Holland, Pickett, Gibson, Breeze and Stephens make a very strong group at safety that have all played quite a bit. There's exciting young talent behind them with length. Bridges, Wright, McKinley have the ability to contribute this year. Haki Woods got a 6th year. Kahlef Hailassie (6-2, 200) played in all 13 games last year.

Heyward and Clark have done a good job with this group. They've developed the depth and talent to match up with both big receivers and the multiple wide receiver sets.

Coupled with an aggressive, disruptive pass rush, they should be a real strength in an improved defense.
