DE: B- - Love Rousseau, but this class puts us in a bad position depth wise. Should've picked up at least 1 more DE

Gregory Rousseau

Misses - Andrew Chatfield (UF)



DT: B- - Nesta is a beast and Miller is very underrated. Losing both Briggs and Chatman to FSU hurts and can't happen (Kool seemed to get lazy recruiting them, or the staff stupidly thought RJ and Norton were coming back). Didn't list Coburn, Ojomo, or Carson as misses cause it seems we came in late to the game with them

Nesta Silvera
Jordan Miller

Misses - Jamarcus Chatman (FSU), Dennis Briggs (FSU)



LB: B - Staff wanted 1 LB and got the target they wanted. IMO they should've take 1 more for depth. Gotta load up in 2019.

Patrick Joyner

Misses - None really, but IMO - Rosendo Louis (USCe)



CB: B- - WAY TOO MANY MISSES cough cough Rumph. Staff under prioritized Asante, and choked on Campbell/Surtain

Al Blades
DJ Ivey
Nigel Bethel

Misses - Tyson Campbell (UGA), Pat Surtain Jr. (ALA), Asante Samuel Jr. (FSU)



S: A

Gurvan Hall
Gilbert Frierson

Misses - Josh Jobe (ALA)


Staff Grade - B-

Safety recruiting has been great but the front 7 and CB recruiting has been average so far. NEEDS to improve ASAP or we will continue to have holes on defense

A offense class


B defensive class
The much talked about Cb recruiting ironically saved it from being worse...
 
Needed a quality JUCO DT instead of the grad xfer, a JUCO DE and another DE.

Another LB was needed.

2 more CBs.

I like the players we got with the exception of the grad xfer. I think that was laziness - didn't go out and get it done to get a high quality JUCO DT which will sorely be missed this coming season.

The grade should be low-ish because of missing out on the proper numbers - and whiffing on huge-time CBs in our backyard - the top 2 CBs in the country on the same team.

The defense is a concern at this point.

Hopefully we can dig around to get at least 1 more DL with experience - and quality - meaning a JUCO DL not a castaway grad xfer that the current school doesn't want.
