I somewhat disagree. Unlike last year, the numbers seem to be fine this year from a "needs" perspective. The class is filling up, but there aren't a lot of needs left to fill assuming everyone stays committed.

To me, our biggest needs in this class were DB, QB and RB and we've filled those, with one spot left for either Cain or Emery.

It would be nice to add another DL or edge rusher, but in your scenario, we do still have a spot open for one.

The bigger issue to me, with taking Rodney Sopsher is how it effects our overall team scholarship limit for next year. As it stands today, we're going to need to make 14 roster spots available in order to sign a 25 player class. We currently have 83 scholarship players and are only scheduled to lose 9 to graduation. Obviously we'll have some juniors declare for the draft, but we will still need 5-10 guys to transfer if we sign 25 in this class.
