Plug in starter: S, WR, CB, G
Important depth: TE, C, T, K/P
Minor need: QB, DE, RB, DT, LB

All of this could change depending on current player decisions.

Safety and OL by a wide margin, followed by a big time WR, then DE/CB, finally a QB.

Safety x 2 speaks for itself, but if Jones decides to go Pro OL increases in need majorly. When Nuss was given time he generally delivered well, losing potential 4/5 on the line is not a good recipe for success.

DE and CB because of who we are losing and guys are young, feel like we need experience there.

QB because you always need at least 1 per year.

I think people are really under estimating our need for DEs in the portal.

We are really only returning 1 DE who has shown anything.

I think DE is our #1 portal need.

If we are going to buy a million dollar player, I hope it’s DE.

I don't think any of us can stomach another year of Gilbert starting at safety, so I agree with everyone above.

Obviously QB goes to the top if Nuss goes pro.

I’m not saying we don’t need a safety, I just think DEs are more important.

Disappointed in losing both Daniels and Womack with both slotted as starters


Everyone posting has given good priorities IMO. I responded to yours because is more closely resembles mine.

1) Safeties (1 or 2)
2) OL including a C and a LT
3) 1 CB
4) 1 Edge
5) QB
6) Punter
7) WR (I personally think Daniels will withdraw his name from the portal)

I would like to know whether J Johnson will be returned to defense to play CB which is where he started off. I think he is too good of an athlete not to play him a LOT MORE in the future...either in the offensive backfield or the defensive backfield. BTW, has there EVER been a better wildcat candidate than the all time LSU HS offensive record holder? For GOD'S SAKE, LSU, put in a wildcat package that almost every team in college football has!

This. And maybe a transfer punter who’s dominating lower ranks.

1. Safety- 2 of them

2. Center

3. DE- 2 of them

4. IOL- 2 of them

5. WR- 2 of them. 1 of them needs to be a freak

6. Corner

7. TE- blocking type to add depth behind Green and Pimpton

8. RB- If Holly isn't back we need at add another piece there.
