not one except hawkins/lf7 are top tear

Come on..
I think 11 out of 14 teams would take Vadal
I don't see a team who wouldn't replace their top two receivers with Dupre and Dural.
Clapp and Boutte may not be top TIER on name recognition, but they will be.

yes beckwith will be our best player but any other projected starter will not be anything close to what lsu has had in the past on defense

WAT?
An argument could be made that White is our best corner since PP7.
Adams is probably our best safety since Landry.
I think Dwayne Thomas brings some of that honey badger-esque ball hawking, disruptive force to our secondary that we've been missing recently.
Him and Toliver will have several turnovers this year.
The linebacker corps, although not deep, is one of the most talented in the SEC.
The D-Line is a relative unknown, but it won't be worse than last year.
