For starters, it will definitely be RBs as one of several primary needs, aside from true OTs. I am quite sure they will be others.

RB, WR, OL, DL, LB, CB, S, K, P, QB, OL, TE, then RB

Offensive side will certainly be the focus.
RB.
OL (especially tackle and center).
WR
DL (DE then DT).
LB
QB
CB
S

I say we may take 3 RBs and 3 DEs and drop a WR and another position

We already have 2 committed. Next year will be huge for DBs.
Going to be tough since I think we need at least 2 RBs and 4 WRs. And you never really want to take less than 4 OL and DL.

1st: RB
2nd: DL
3rd: OL
4th: WR
RB and DL will be thinnest positions in terms of returning bodies and number players requiring snaps at those positions per game
We will have 7 returning scholarship DL in 2018. If every single one pans out and we stay completely injury free that's barely a 2 deep, with a 3 man front

drop a WR
Next year Louisiana is supposed to be stocked with stud WR's. I think we take 4 total.

In state next year there are 4 WR in the top 7 to 10 players depending on who you ask. All pretty tall as well. Also have several DBs we are after.
Not sure on RB and we are gonna have to go out of state for the RBs.
But, if we want to rebuild the fence starting next year then we have a GREAT opportunity to do so at a position of need.

Number 1 imo is Corione Harris out of Landry Walker. He's a CB. Everyone has Terrace Marshall as the #1 WR, and he's fantastic. Yeah, Harris held him to 1 catch in the quarterfinals this year. He's that good.

Wasn't he a commit at one time?

RB (2-3), WR (3-4), and TE (2) will be the most pressing needs. Not sure how many OL we have that project as tackles, but I know that we have 4 freshman/redshirt freshman tackles. So I'd say 2-3 more next year. We need 2 ILBs, 2 DTs, a QB, and just fill depth

There is some incredible talent at WR and DB that we should have a great shot at, obviously need a RB and OL.

I really hope we don't end up counting on a Mississippi prospect to fill our RB need.

Most dire need for 2018 will be RBs and WRs. Good news, WR will be stupid easy - we can't NOT get 3 elite WRs - we could almost do that without leaving the state (hell, might do it without leaving the state).
Bad news: RB cupboard looks pretty sparse, but some kids mature late and there might be a late bloomer, and certainly 2 or 3 backs that could be serviceable as a committee - heaven knows Louisiana produces a few above average RBs even in a down year.
Beyond that, one almost cannot have too many players at the OT, ILB and pass rush specialists. We will also be looking at true NTs wherever we can find them. We haven't had problems getting DBs in many, many years. We should be taking 1 to 2 QBs again next year.

There's really zero reason to leave the state for WR in 2018. It's as stacked as it's ever been.
