Ranking team needs (A little tougher to gauge, as I’m assuming some seniors move on, but they now have an extra year due to covid)…Position switches/attrition, etc can effect this but this is what it looks like this to me…The order they are ranked within each category matters too.
Huge Need: CB/P
Definite Need: DT/DE/LB/OL//QB
Need, but can be picky: WR/TE/RB
Can Pass or be very picky: S
Won’t be taking: K
If Curtis stays corner, I guess you could move CB need right down a line as a co-definite 1A with DT/LB…I personally think he’ll be a WR. But as of now I think biggest need on team.

I would end DE to Huge need. We have taken a couple of 4 stars the last 2 cycles in C Williams and Ishmael but we are a long way off from having a dependable stack of DEs and so much on D is predicated on DE play. With the huge year for DEs in SFL its imperative we take at least 2 of the top 4 and prospects maybe 1-2 others with strong potential.
CB is a huge need regardless of where Curtis plays. We are very thin at the position and might lose the top 4 CBs after this year. At least we are off to a good start and even is all 4 stay, with Ivey being one of them we need young depth to develop for the future.
I will be surprised if Curtis is anything but a CB. We have a bunch of young receivers (4 from 2020 + 3 from 2021 classes) and next year is stacked with talent in SFL. Can’t believe Curtis goes to WR considering our numbers in CB.
We took the RB from Tennessee (?) which count towards the 22 class so supposedly he is the guy for this class unless a stud wants to come in. It gives us 4 young stud RB for next season even if Cam bolts after this season. For me TE is a bigger need than both RB and WR this year with Malory likely leaving after this season and the depth behind him is unproven and with the exception of Arroyo not highly ranked. Unfortunately not a lot of top targets on the board…
Punter- the Aussie is only a junior. Get him some good nil money and keep him here.
Cb, lb, de, OL are the concerns.
I wouldn’t argue too strongly against you and crossing fingers that all the smoke about us well ahead for Stewart and somewhat in the lead for Kelly is true. I think we will always look at portal DE as well with the success we’ve had at the position.
I expect Curtis at WR, but would welcome him at CB as well. And if Brantley wasn’t highly ranked he should have been (maybe not blue chip, but I think he was one of the best dozen TE prospects in the nation) . As for RB I always like to have 5 on hand…4 is doable though definitely.
You make good points thought for sure. Anything I disagree with is only slightly.
Kinda leaning towards Isaeli’s DE stance, esp if Cam Williams is done at UM (out for year AT LEAST with grades)…So bumped it up on needs list.
No I don’t believe so…This is Hedley’s last year coming up?
DB from Jacksonville de-committed from *
I’m guessing he liked the pool party
He was a RS Junior in 2020. Thus he will be a RS Junior in 2021 due to Covid and RS Senior in 22.
I doubt he stays, but fair enough…I believe he’ll be like 26-27 with an NFL future.
I tend to agree that he should leave if he has a degree and NFL future. If that does happen, they can always take a portal kid.
Seems like that’s the plan according to 247
