The starting OL could be the best in the SEC...maybe the country. For a (relatively) inexperienced QB that is huge. I suspect much of the spring will be spent developing depth as the coaches know what they have in the starters (outside of center).
The TEs should be a bigger part of the offense because Nussmeier is less risk averse than Daniel. I don't say that as a good or bad thing, just that Nussmeier is willing to make a wider variety of throws than Daniels in tighter windows. Particularly over the middle where TEs make the biggest impact. I don't think it was an accident Taylor had his highest number of catches/targets in the bowl game.
The depth at RB has suddenly become a bit concerning. I expect to see walkon's get a lot of reps in the spring to limit the wear on the two top line guys (Williams and Jackson).
WR has the biggest boom/bust potential. At his best, Lacy is every bit as athletic as Nabers. He just isn't consistent like Nabers was. Everyone else has a lot of POTENTIAL, but no one you can definitively say "that guy will be a big time player" this season.
Everything is kind of up in the air on defense. I can't imagine a new DC will watch the tape and think LSU has a better ILB than Weeks. As frustrating as it is for fans, Perkins is still somewhat of a "tweener". He's probably a bit too small to be a complete ILB. But if you just have him as an edge rusher teams can somewhat scheme around him. It will be interesting to see how Baker decides to use him because at his best he is a complete game-wrecker. The secondary is still a big concern. I'd also like to see them slim Sai'vion Jones back down. Maybe that hurts his prospects as a pro, but last year he was almost useless. He couldn't get to the QB from his new position and was too slow in his lateral movement to consistently make plays on the edge. The year prior he was an excellent situational pass rusher.
