I say Brockers. The guy was probably the most underrated player on the team. Unless Ego comes along and Mickey Johnson/Quentin Thomas can step in, we will miss him.

Obvious answer is Jordan Jefferson

We will miss his skillset

Claiborne, by far.

Baker was a real solid player for us but he's no Kelvin Sheppard. Our LBs will be better next year.

you don't have to laugh at me.

I know Baker wasnt that great but I thought LB would be a weak spot for us next year. If I'm wrong about that then

1.) Claiborne
2.) Brockers
3.) Randle
4.) Taylor
5.) Blackwell
6.) Brooks
7.) Baker

Something like that... I'll respectfully decline to list Jefferson/Lee.

Claiborne, by far.


While he will not be easy to replace, check this out:

That mindset leads to the second shocking item, which is that Simon was head and shoulders above Mathieu and Claiborne in coverage last season: 30 targets, 12 completions, 108 yards, 3.6 YPA. The YPA wasn't just an anomaly based on facing short passes either, as Simon allowed only two completions for 35 yards on 15 vertical targets (those thrown 11 or more yards downfield).

It should be noted that Simon allowed zero completions in eight stretch vertical targets (those thrown 20 or more yards downfield) and picked off two of those passes, so it is possible he could actually take over the ballhawk and coverage roles from Claiborne and leave Mathieu to focus on improving his YPA -- and making the type of plays that led to his being named a Heisman finalist in 2011.

Rueben. This is the first time LSU hasn't had a big physical #1 WR since, I don't know when. Before Josh Reed perhaps???
