Skill players look good at RB and WR. TE position on paper looks OK, but we need to see better play, especially blocking.
OL I just don't know how I feel about that. The play has been so up and down. I like the talent at tackle, but not at guard. The big things are toughness and consistency. This unit needs some toughness BIG TIME. They haven't averaged more than 160 yards per game rushing since 2012. That is GARBAGE.
Honestly, none of that matters if QB play stays the same. That is Mullen's biggest job. Finding anything at QB. ANYTHING.
On Defense, I have no idea what to think. The corners seem OK, and I like Reese at MLB, but I have serious doubts about every other position on the defense.
Florida returns 11 of their top 15 tacklers (7 of top 10), so they will have experience, and they seemed to add some good players in this small class, so it probably won't be worse than last year. I hope they can find someone to play safety.

Totally agree. And it's gonna take some time before we have some SEC TE's, but at least we're getting there. RB and WR will be the best we've had since...I really don't know. Davis was burning it up and now we have Scarlett back.

This will help our OL if Jones/Trask/Franks/Anyone develops a pocket presence. Honestly, if Mullen can't fix our quarterback problem, it's over for Florida football. We just can't have another year of quarterback play, but there is absolutely no way we're going to be as bad as Franks/Nussmeier was. No way.
Just........no way.

On Defense
Corners are good, almost everyone got rotated in at safety so they have some experience and the new guys will probably come in.
The LB/DE tandem -- we brought in a lot of talent for the ends. The MLBs should be fine, and we got two more bodies to put in if we need.
Biggest concern is at DT, because we just haven't seen most of them play very much. Bryan leaving early kind of makes me cringe, but I think we'll be ''good'' next year.

I think we rotated in like four guys last year and the only one I really saw start to get better was Gardner. The last few games he really turned it up. I'd like him to go back to CB just to have more of the younger guys look it up, but fact is we need guys with experience.
