re: LB's DT's and DE's signed in 2016

Need? At the very least 10. Our depth on the D line could be pretty solid until 2017, so 6 linemen all together and 4 linebackers. Maybe one or two athletes that could play either DE/OLB.

It's going to be hard numbers wise. You want 4-5 offensive linemen in every class. Two QB's in this class, then at the very least 2 receivers, maybe three, with one tight end, and maybe a runningback. That's 10 spots at least just on offense. Probably closer to 12-13.

Then we also need 3 safeties in this class, with maybe one extra CB who can play multiple positions. Even though we have talent at CB, it's still very hard to turn away a potential beast at CB, so we could take 3-4 CB's. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see 6-7 DB's in this class

It's going to be a numbers crunch in the end. Hopefully we can get 27-28 guys for next years class. With 12 for the front 7.
