re: How desperate are we to get a LB in this class?

Correct on the depth this year but take off the SRS and then tell me LB isn't a bigger need. None of our DEs next year are leaving unless by transfer. Schools recruit a year ahead in most cases. It has changed some because freshmen play a lot more now but coaches would still prefer to have kids starting that have been in the system more than a couple of months. The great majority of the kids in this class are being brought in for 16-17 seasons not for 15.
