Obviously with Hill, OBJ and Landry leaving, fournette dupre and Quinn were huge. Also, we picked up 2 DL today after ego and freak left.

Any positions we didn't quite fill like we needed to?

Don't think they picked up a fair catcher.

Could be wrong though.

I would have liked a top OT in this class, but I'm sure we will fill that next year

OL, CB, and DE before the Texas DE switched.

If you count the second of the brothers Teuhema, a 5* OT for 2015, then yes.

Only thing would be OL. But next year is a class full of good O Lineman so Grimes will have a lot of work to do. Hopefully he can bring in 5 or so.

Hill, OBJ and Landry

These are giant shoes to fill. People need to taper their immediate expectations. We're still thin at DT no matter how you slice it. The late pickups were lifesavers in my opinion. We would have been in trouble without LMFAO and Valentine.

With that said, this is a great class. There is a ton of talent in this group.

You typically recruit for a couple years down the road. You can always use stud DEs, but having them this year and getting them experience behind Hunter, Rasco, and Allen. It will prepare them to jump right in and start the following year, since there is a real chance that we could lose all three after next season.

I agree. I don't think LF, Dupre or Quinn will step in and produce like those three, but we obviously needed to replace talent at those positions. I also agree about the DL. I thought we might be in trouble on the DL after 1/2.

May be addressed next year, but not a need after the last two seasons recruits.
