We haven't covered QB or DT yet

Those were the worst positions on the field this year

I know everyone hates to hear it, but we have plenty of DTs on the roster. We'll take an elite one like Mack but we don't really need bodies til next year.

QB is a whole different ballgame, and honestly which one available is better than the one we got committed? Everyone out there is a project like McMillan or will try to fight his position coach. All in for 2016 on that front.

Godchaux and LaCouture have played really well the last few games, definitely not a weak spot now. Adding Jonathan Taylor and Travonte Valentine gives LSU the best DT rotation in the nation.

Guice is the next Nick Chubb
Kevin Toliver is the defensive version of Odell Beckham Jr
Maea Tuehema will start at RG or RT and crush fools

We've got a QB in McMillan. Is he a project, yeah. but we aren't really looking at him to seriously start here. Franks and Patterson are both huge fish next year that we are likely to land on NSD 2016.

DT, we are going after the JUCO and Mack, even still, we go four deep at the position. Let's say we lose Valentine, Lacouture and Godchaux after 2016, every other DT that is on the roster right now, will have 3+ years in the system for 2017. We are looking to nab 3 in our on backyard in 2016, so I don't think they want to load up this year.

That's an argument for filling those position needs three years ago, not this year.

BTW, DT is the strongest position on our team, along with WR and LB, going into 2015.

At least DT got better as the season progressed. And Valentine should theoretically be able to play next year.
