re: What are positions of need in 2018? What recruits we looking at to fill them?

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.
