I appreciate the time it took you to put this content together and your effort to generate good, troll-free discussion on the SECR. With the caveat that I know you didn't say these are going to be breakout players, but only the ones you're excited to see, some of last year's picks were pretty bad in hindsight. I can't imagine they fulfilled your pre-season excitement for them.
Now that that is out of the way, I will make my own bad picks. I'm going off of memory, so I might leave some teams out because I don't follow everyone else's recruiting very closely.
Incoming Offensive recruits I'm excited to see:
LSU - Jamal Pettigrew, TE. He's the closest we've come to recruiting a TE that can both block and run/catch, instead of one or the other. I've read good things about him so far. Essentially, I'm hoping against hope that he does well enough to see the field and change the staff's perception of how a TE can be used.
Bama - Irv Smith, TE. I just like the TE position. I have no idea if this kid will play for Bama this year. But he played in the same high school district as Jamal Pettigrew and Foster Moreau (another LSU TE) and on the same team as Texas TE Peyton Aucoin.
Auburn - Eli Stove, WR. Simply for the heat related puns if he shows out.
Arkansas - Devwah Whaley, RB. He's their highest rated offensive recruit. I'm not familiar with any of them.
Ole Miss - Shea Patterson, QB. He's got all the tools.
Miss St - Jeffrey Simmons, DE. I realize this is for offensive recruits. But domestic abuse is pretty fricking offensive, if you ask me.
I've tired of this exercise already. What I've learned by looking at the list of recruits for various SEC schools is that you have to be pretty fricking good to stand out on offense in this league because the best players in pretty much everyone's classes are all on the defensive side of the ball.

I'm confused. Where's all the shitposting?
I definitely agree with Patterson and Brown, as neither is likely to RS, and I'd add Greg Little (as exciting as watching linemen is...). Another potentially to add to our list, assuming he doesn't RS, would be TE Octavious Cooley. Ole Miss' offensive skill players should be pretty fun to watch overall.

and there isn't any depth for the Gators at the quarterback position
I wanted to read all your info and then you did the above.
Stopped reading.

Do you feel like y'all have QB depth?
I'm not convinced a guy who got benched at Purdue provides depth (same way a guy who got benched at UVA doesn't provide depth for us) or Felipe Franks who has looked terrible so far gives you depth.
