[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 141677, member: 216"] This is my order based on how I believe the emergence of these guys will affect the team's success in 2015 and how little I already know about them. 1. Leggett - Leggett is 90% likely to be the starting BBack - that's a huge role in the team's success. We had really good players there last year. Laskey just posted pro-day numbers that would've put him among the top 7 RB's at the combine. Synjyn's numbers weren't far off from that. And, they were playing as seniors ... That's a major loss in talent for a very important position. What do we have to replace it? We really don't know anything about Leggett, so this Spring will be the first significant data we will have on him. 2. Brown - That RG spot is arguably the 3rd most impactful position in the offense. Shaq was a huge part of our offense's success last year, so whoever wins that job is going to play a major role in how good we are offensively. I chose Brown as the guy to watch in Spring instead of Shamire because like Leggett, I don't know anything about him and this will be the first data. We've already seen Shamire in games, which is probably more important than seeing him in Spring. 3. Jeune - The WR spot is arguably the 2nd most impactful position in the offense (I'd put QB 1st, then a 3 way tie between WR-BB-OG). We all know how having a major talent at WR impacts this offense's success (Bay Bay, Smelter) and how even a small step down can hurt (Hill, Greene). Will Jeune be more like the former, the latter, or somewhere in between. First significant data. 4. Searcy - While AB seems like it can be a plug-n-play position and probably falls a little lower on the scale of impact, we've also seen how a major talent at this position can carry the team (Godhigh, Orwin). Even though Searcy doesn't remind me of those two and probably won't be our go-to guy in 2015 with Snoddy and Andrews carrying the torch at the position, Searcy seems to be the guy with the most perceived potential vs how little we already know about him. First significant data. You could put Clinton Lynch here for the same reasons. 5. Weimerskirch - Same as Leggett. Could prove to be a vital piece of the puzzle this year. Also look forward to seeing how Jordan is progressing but he won't make an impact this year (hopefully). The defense is where we will make or lose money this year as always, but I don't see many on that side of the ball making an impact who we don't already know a lot about. And, that's probably a really good thing because it means we've got most of our main pieces back. We've already seen Harrell. We've seen Simmons.
