    Welcome to the board!

    My guess is WR, RB and CB become a slightly bigger need with the losses of not getting that 2nd receiver (Benton/Bell/Kelly), cover corner in Jackson and big bruising RB in Pratt. A TE is also high on the list, as well as another FB. Safety would be the next concern.

    Least needed:
    D-line
    QB

    The first place to start is what do we lose...

    Our best WR (+1 or 2 reserves)
    Our starting LT & RG
    Our top 2 RBs
    Our starting TE
    3 starting DB's - SS, CB, nickelback
    2 LBs (at least one starter)
    A starting DE
    2 primary contributing DT's

    IMO, RB is the biggest need of the 2010 class based on how few we've signed in the past couple years. We need to take 2-3 RBs in this class, and I'd love to have Lache as one of them.

    We also need 2 TE's based on the little contribution we've gotten from the past few guys we've recruited there.

    DB & WR depends on where Calhoun & Claiborne end up. If both of them end up one side of the ball, that side won't be as big of an emphasis.

    Lache looks impressive, but I'd rather a RB that's being compared to Adrian Peterson, and just a pure speed back. Just my opinion

    I definantely think we need at least two RB's. TE i dont think is a big deal especially if miles ever lets crowton install his entire offense. if he does im not worried at all with our tight end production. we will definately need some recievers who can contribute right away unless sheppard or claiborne or moved, which i expect shepard to be a slot guy. I think DB will be fine for a little while peterson will be a shut down corner for sure so if we can recruit 1 or 2 good corners we will be fine... our biggest need to me is linebacker we have'nt recruited very well at that position this decade. I am hoping loston stays at safety and chad jones gets moved to OLB

    Until a quarterback establishes himself here . . . we need a quarterback.

    Stay tuned, we'll find out this fall. I personally believe JJ is going to get the job done.

    I would be shocked if he isn't very good this coming season.

    Shepard coming in to relieve him from time to time will also take some of the pressure off and help him out mentally.

    Who are you referring to?

    And who says we can't take both?
