I don't follow recruiting that close. Offense seems to be shaping up nicely, how are we looking on defense?

Also who is going to give our QB time to complete passes to all these good WRs?

A couple of decent looking athletes but nothing in the way of immediate impact players right now. We really need to get Abercrumbia and English.

I think Jordon Williams would be a huge pick up at the hybrid safety position-really like both him and Clemons to help at safety

Pass blocking isn't that big of an issue, a lot of problems there will be fixed by Morris getting us a QB that can get rid of the ball on time. Our run blocking scares the hell out of me though, it's really going to hold the offense back.

You develop OLM in the weightroon more than any other position and we've got younger contributors on the OLine. First you need to match players for the spread from an inventory of Run n Shoot. Its a big transition-some of the parts simply don't fit

I think the Scott brothers are decent long term prospects at DE

We badly need two DTs in this class. English and Abercrumbia would be ideal
