We need to assume all of our NFL-caliber players will leave after JR or RS-SO years now. We may get lucky and keep guys like Collins every once in a while but it looks like the new norm is leaving early. That being said, we need to recruit CB as well as OL and DL to make sure we don't end up with a gap in 2016.

Yes, but nobody is a huge fan of plugging a true frosh in if they don't have to.

If you relied on that, then k beckwith would have been in the two deep by game one, yet he wasn't ready at that time.

The goal is to get guys in a year before your depth is nearly eliminated. We only have three olb for 2016. I'm not clamoring for signing six; but maybe two or three.

For me, OT and DE are the most glaring needs. If Hawkins leaves after this year, the OTs are likely Pocic and Dormond. Maybe Boutte could shift out there if needed. Teheuma and Womack look like the backup OTs at this point.

At DE, Rasco, perhaps Hunter, and Maclin depart. Bower, Neal, Patterson, Clark and S. Teheuma return, but I'd like to grab at least two more.
