re: biggest need for 2010

OL - We took a pretty solid class last year with Stavion Lowe, Chris Faulk, Carneal Ainsworth and Josh Williford (project). While I think that we should be cherry picking some great talent and signing 2-4 OL, I would not really consider this a huge position of need.

DT - A position of need for every recruiting class. Depth at DT is a huge advantage for any team. Keeping fresh linemen rotating in is key to fourth quarter success. With the signing of Downs and Davenport last year, we have a solid base to build on. I think three DT's in this class would be appropriate, but if we were to only get two, it would be fine. We are loaded with big DE's that could rotate in and play some DT to help with depth, especially on passing downs.

CB - We desperately need a star CB in this class. Patrick Peterson is basically Jesus in cleats and I can't see him staying all four years. When he leaves, there is going to be a massive void left that needs to be filled. I'm hoping that Vinson signs with LSU and is all he is cracked up to be. I would look for 2-3 corners in this class. We can't afford to not have a stud to replace Peterson.

RB - The most obvious position of need. We are graduating two incredible talents from our backfield and have little depth behind them. Ridley is a good power runner, and assuming he can come back full strength from his injury, should see a good bit of playing time his senior season. We will also have Mike Ford coming in this year as an up the gut kind of back. His high school performance was incredible, but without seeing how that translates onto the college gridiron, we should not bank on it. Lache is an amazing athlete, but he will not fill our need for a power runner. Storm Johnson and Juwan Thompson would fit well in our offense and I would love to have both of them in P&G.
