[After THE JUMP: the player and what we said]

--------------------------------------------

1. Offensive Skill Positions

starts at 1:00

JJ McCarthy deserves a lot of credit for building this class. Donovan Edwards was their #1 target—THIS TIME WE'RE THROWING TO THE BACK! Tavierre Dunlap is a thunderous complement. Gattis seems likely to stick around and so are his receiver recruits. Xavier Worthy looks like ol' Chicken Legs himself. Other two guys can go get it…we think.

2. Offensive Line

starts at 25:12

Hansen is a tight end from Massachusetts but the sites are now wise to our factory. Willie Allen could figure to start next year if they lose Mayfield to the NFL, gives Seth a Grant Newsome vibe personality-wise. El-Hadi is a guy it shouldn't be so hard to get excited about—Mayfield is the comp. Also got themselves a 6'8" tackle from New England to hang some meat on. Two centers allow us to wax poetic about centers.

3. Defensive Recruits and the Punter

starts at 42:53

Over half of 247's punters are Aussies. Michigan punting is cursed. Also cursed: DT and CB recruiting, "Guy" jokes, and Dominic Giudice because he's the only DT-shaped object from the Nua era.

4. Wrap

starts at 1:015:04

Prospects still on the board, options, and a long discussion about cornerback and defensive tackle.
