Mobley and Goebel will have to compete with guys like Barrow and Solomon Thomas, but one of them could emerge as the #4 guy, especially if Rose plays a little bit of DT.

I would be very surprised to see Garrett redshirt next year. He has the size and motor to be an immediate impact player and he also appears (most importantly) to have the desire and work ethic.
He may end up at DT, but I could see him getting reps at strongside DE to give Heyward a rest. Rose recently had shoulder surgery on one arm and is about to have it on the other so there is no guarantee he will be ready to go next year meaning GG could be Heyward's primary backup.
The D-line will be very versatile next year with the ability to show many different looks with speed rushers like Thomas and Gibson or power rushers like Heyward and Goebel. I would qualify Wilson as a hybrid guy with a good mix of both (not to say the others don't posses speed/power).
