Same for Myles Garrett. I'd have him in the 20-25 range.

Dont know what to make of most of that list, but I highly doubt Johnson makes any sort of immediate impact at LSU. We have a shitton of WR depth.

Vernon Hargreaves is obviously a very good defender, and he put up very strong numbers in only 12 total games last year (and as a freshman), and barring injury he is going to be an all-american and a top draft choice, but I don't know if he's the 2nd best defensive player in the entire country.

It'll be interesting to see if the new coaches at UF can take better advantage of VH3 next year. I still can't believe they tried to zone Alabama most of that game. The only player on the team that even had a remote chance of slowing down Cooper was Hargreaves, and yet he was left to run completely free most of that game.

So ridiculous.

It's cool that Calvin Ridley is on there, but I doubt he makes an impact this year unless there are some injuries

Garrett is good right where he is. Cravens should be a little higher though.

as much as I like Tyron Johnson, I'm surprised Donte Jackson isn't getting more hype. the guy is a freak

I've got Jordan Scarlett taking over halfway through the year. Taylor is a huge disappointment and an average RB. Since they put Patrick up there, I wonder why Scarlett wasn't up there.

Exactly. We didn't lose a WR during the season so we bring back plenty of depth. Unless he can beat out Quinn in the slot, I don't see him playing much.

Also our offense is not young as he put it. We have 2 RBs with a year of experience, a seniors and 2 juniors on the line all with at least 2 years of experience, a junior QB with a year of experience and the backup with half a year. The entire WR group comes back so we aren't really hurting for experience anywhere.

Why not? Unless one of your WRs has really done something good on the field that I'm missing, he should definitely see a good amount of time.

How do you leave off this guy when you pair him with Myles. A&M about to be DLU.

Myles at 15 isn't awful, his lack of help really hurt his production against SEC teams.

I do take exception with Mack not being on the frosh list, he was the UAA MVP.
