Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Those are definitely the positions we need to go hard after for the 2011 class. Also look for the Ducks sign 2 QBs this class, because after the 2010 season, we will only have 3 QBs on our roster. JR Darron Thomas, SO Darryl Hawkins, and FR/SO Bryan Bennett.

Also look for us to stack up on some WRs as well. If Gaines doesn't get his redshirt, we will be left with only SR Tuinei, SO Jackson, SO Cole, and SO Cantu. And add in Huff and Lowe to that mix. Three WRs for 2011 sounds like a solid number right now.

So just a look of order of importance in my eyes:
1. DT/DE (Adding Ricky was a nice boost for this year, but if he takes a mission for 2011, we definitely need to add some Dlinemen. 3 starters will graduate after this upcoming season)
2. WR (Definitely need to add some WRs, getting a big name in this class would be sweet)
3. LB (Losing 8 players after this year and next. Definitely need to load up on LBs for 2011 and 2012)
4. QB (even if we land one from this class, that should be good enough)
5. OL (OL is one of the classes you are constantly brining players in because you have 5 positions to fill. This is of medium important to me, somewhere in the middle)
6. DB (After OL, none of these next four, DB/TE/RB/K/P are a point of need for this class. I'm sure we'll take a couple though since there are 4 positions to fill)
7. TE (Take one, we are loaded here unless some TEs switch positions. IMO just go after the best: Lyerla and Austin Seferian-Jenkins)
8. Special Teams (Got enough right now, we should be good)
9. RB (Doubt we take a RB. Maybe one that's an athlete and could play multiple positions, otherwise naw)


Obviously my rundown isn't perfect, but I'm just trying to get a feel for what we'll be looking for in the 2011 class

I would flip LB and DT but other than that I think your list is spot on.

Yeah I could see that. Just knowing we will only have Michael Clay, Boseko Lokombo, and Michael Clay on our roster for the 2011-12 season (the season after this upcoming one), really got me worried, and that makes me wanna grab like 4-5 LBs for the 2011 class and like 3-4 for the 2012 class.

But definitely see the concern for Dline also. Honestly, I think Ricky's decision to go on a mission or not could be the difference between on which position deserves more focus.

Either way, both are probably the top 2 needs for this class.

Also Kiki Alonso ( I think ) also Eddie P will still be around,

Totally forgot about Kiko Alonso. And I was under the impression that Pleasent was a JR this year for some reason.. So definitely, I'd probably switch LB with DL now, good call.

Definitely fits the mold of an Oregon LB. And he's from Texas.

I was looking at the wrong year of eligibility. We'd still have Hanna, Stuckey, and Kaddu too. Lol, so yeah NVM. LB is important, but not as important. Thanks fecta.

Definitely got to focus on this guy he is a DT and a kicker! ( look at his pics)

Wow Florida definitely has a leg up on us for offers they have offered 3 times as many people as us already so far for 2011. Including some big time D-lineman (as if they didn't get enough this year) I wonder how they do that......
