There was talk this offseason that Hill could stick to the boundary and Josh Newton take over the slot, but for now, it appears Hill is going to be the slot man, replacing the departed Mike Hilton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Second-round rookie Demetrius Knight was able to hold off veteran Oren Burks to be the second starting linebacker next to Logan Wilson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Third-round rookie Dylan Fairchild is officially the starting left guard, though that\u2019s been just about set in stone since he was drafted in April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Finally, Joseph Ossai won the second starting defensive end spot across from Trey Hendrickson. That was the expectation all along, though first-round pick Shemar Stewart will certainly challenge to take that spot from Ossai before the season ends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What are your thoughts?
