Now that we know everyone who's leaving, who's crucial for next year?

Defensively, I think the first player that comes to mind is Ego. He's had a lot of hype with his spring awards and fall praise. Hasn't translated to the field yet. We desperately need a consistent force in the middle.

Second, I'm thinking Micah Eugene/his replacement. One major thing I thought our defense was missing last year was playmaking ability from the nickel that Matthieu/Brooks brought. We need someone who can rush this passer/take advantage of the mismatches that position provides.

Offensively, it's obvious Faulks replacement is one. Besides that, I think Dural can provide a significant jolt to the offense.

It's been a while since we've gone into a season with so many unknowns. Color me excited to see what these young guys have to offer.
