Couple of things stand out to me:

Tight End - I would be floored if we don't see a JUCO or 5th come in at this position.  I'm still uncertain as to what production this offense needs from a TE, but even from a blocking perspective, we need help.

O Line - This positional group is starting to become like QB had been for us prior to Nassib - a consistent problem.  In any given year we have a few really good lineman, then a few that are capable, and not very much quality depth.  And the band keeps playing on, year after year.  It was a problem throughout Shafer's tenure, and continues to be a problem.  I also wouldn't be surprised to see some experienced JUCO or 5th year players targeted here as well, just to give some of the young guys you mentioned in this recruiting class a year to RS.

DB - I think we know the issues we have here, and injuries and non-qualifiers only compounded them.  The group was a question mark even if we didn't have the injuries and non-qualifiers.  Wouldn't be surprised if this positional group sees the most targeting of JUCO or 5th year types to add quality players with the requisite size and experience to be successful in a Tampa 2.

I think these 3 positional groups are our sore spots.   The others have enough talent in the pipeline to either be strengths or competent currently or in the near term.
