I think this was a great class. While I would have liked to have picked up Wilson, Shelvin and Farrell are excellent guys and really all we needed after our elite haul from last year. We just need to make sure we get at least 2 solid DTs next year.

We needed ILBs in a big way and got 2 very good ones. We picked up an elite pass rusher to replace Key after he leaves next year. We picked up 2 great QBs with complimentary skill sets, 3 solid safeties (one of which could also be a very good WR), a premier left tackle and big bodies on the OL.

Think about it in that context and you realize what a great class this is. Even further, when you realize this is a transition year with a new HC, OC and 2nd year DC this was an incredible job.

I agree. Most probably we will some shake up in the staff I would think. Whatever the case may be I am looking forward to this staff having a full year to further identify the talent that fits our needs, develop relationships with the players, parents, coaches and other decision makers involved in the recruiting process. Coach O and his current staff worked under some difficult situations. Particularly in the negative recruiting area. I commend them for their hard work. Stinks we lost out on some players we really needed but it is what it is and honestly we hauled him some damn good players. At least we don't have to deal with a class such as Texas put together. Removing a HC is not for sissies that's for sure.
