So, what do our experts think?  I don't follow recruiting that well, but it seems to me we made a real effort to load up on linemen on both sides of the ball, especially with big guys who should be ready to go on the OL.  As you look at our OL returnees, I see 5, maybe 6 guys who give me confidence.  I think the 2 JUCOs and the transfer should all expect serious time.

We've got a lot of bodies returning on the D Line, and we added 4 young guys, and the guy from Alabama.  If he's healthy enough to contribute, our D Line could be much better.  Glad we got Rice at LB to go with the young freshman.  If Thompson is healthy, it's not a bad group, but not terribly deep.  We lost some top-end talent among the DBs, but the 2 transfers, on paper, seem like really good replacements.  Really happy we got an experienced punter with a leg on him.

Losing Sellers would hurt, but doesn't he think he could beat Lamson or Del Rio after a year in the system?  He would still have Beck coaching him.  I still think we're missing a game breaker at WR.  The fast kid from Kansas might be good, but strikes me as kind of a "meh".  I'm not super blown away by either running back, compared to some of the guys we've recruited in the last few years, who wound up getting moved to defense, or not making it.

Seems like we fortified the depth on the lines, and plugged some holes.  We could use a couple home run threats on offense, though.
