I'm just throwing this together. Please revise/refine..

Finishing out this class:

Have:
2 S - Hanna, LaBrosse
1 CB - Atkinson
2 LB - Barron, Thompson
2 DE - Kinsler, Lowery
1 DE/DT - Lemeiux

1 OG - Ilaoa
1 OT - Barclay
1 TE - Mahar
2 RB - Wax, Tucker
1 SL - Pena
1 WR - Alford

Want/Need (prospects, preference):
1 QB - Fortin, Spann
2 OL - Bleich, Reed, Pogorelc, Willock, Snively, Rewolinski
1 DT - Mesidor, Ndukwe
1 WR - Poitier, Jones
1 SL - Williams, Saunders
1  CB - ?
1 LB - ?

A couple of additional thoughts:

Lemieux at DT seems speculative based on development, I could see him sticking more as an SDE (5 tech).
The other two DE's (Lowery and Kinsler) seem like straight up rush ends (9 tech) and I can see a case (although unlikely) for Kinsler converting to OLB.
That seems to make the case for 2 true DTs this class.

As many have pointed out, Wax could be brought in as an LB, but I see that as unlikely. More likely is Tucker as a slot guy, but I don't think we'd have so many late looks at guys suited to the slot if that was the case.

I'd like to see a true center this class as I think we've eaten up way to many roster spots chasing good tackles. I think we've had relative success sliding guys inside to guard and assuming we land two more guys this class that are suited to play tackle I think we'll be pretty solid from a depth perspective at both T and G.
