Already looking ahead to 2017 class now. As best I can figure, here's our needs -- I know this won't be that close to 100% correct so PLEASE correct me and provide your own numbers :)

QB -- 1
Thoughts: would we really take more than 1 in this class? In 2017, MT will be Rs Sr, CH will be Rs Jr. Chazz, Elliott, Byrd all on roster as well.

RB -- 2 (1 more in addition to Rasheed Martin, assuming he sticks?)

WR -- 4 (2 more in addition to J.T. Cauthen and Tyler Smith)
Thoughts: think that WR is a more dire need than people think in the 2017 class. We need a few studs to re-stock the pond if you will. Fortunately for us, the staff knows this and we're already off to a great start with us nabbing Cauthen and Smith)

TE -- 1-2

OT -- 2-3?

OG -- 2-4? (1-3 more in addition to Melton, a huge get for us)

C -- 1

DE -- 2-3 (Lawler already on board is huge for us and let's us shoot for other high-ranked guys I'd imagine)

DT -- 2-3
Thoughts: We all know that DT and DE are our most dire needs moving forward. It's essential we haul in some studs along the front four or we'll never elevate to a truly elite program.

OLB -- 2-3?

MLB -- 1-2?
Not really sure about LB to be honest. Kinda hard to predict? I know we'll be somewhat thin at LB still by 2017.

CB -- 3-4

S -- 2

K -- ?

P -- ?

I know my numbers take me past 25. Thoughts? Guesses at specific recruits we'll nab? Just trying to spark discussion because I love when y'all that are in the know post your breakdowns and wish lists.
