I didn't miss it. I saw the names, I'm just changing my order of importance now lol.

We need some hard hitting fast.......we need another Willis. If bowman took over for a hobbled Wiilis we need a new guy to take over for a hobbled bowman. And not some guy that plays in a soft conference.

I'd say updated needs could be:

ILB - Upgrade over Wilhoite or additional depth to hopefully move on from Moody

WR - If Boldin retires and with Simpson being a FA that leaves us Smith, Smelter and then Ellington/Patton who haven't shown much.

OT (or OG/OT combo) - Brown didn't look like the future in game 1 but of course 1 game is too early to judge. Pears looked good but at his age he's not the future.

OLB - Depends how Brooks, Lynch and Harold play this year. Lemonier probably doesnt even deserve to make the team and wouldn't if Aldon was around.

TE - Bell looks to be the future #1 with Carrier #2. McDonald is a FA after next season and will likely be gone then if not before. Celek could beat him out and be a future #3 but he's a FA after this year. Not sure if Davis will be back but if he is it wouldn't be a need anymore. My guess is he is gone. Hopefully we can IR and stash Anderson

Some will say CB but I have high hopes for Acker and Reaser as well as Johnson. Brock should be a decent CB but I don't expect anything from Wright who will probably be gone after this year anyways. Ward fits in there somewhere. I can see some wanting a high pick but I think we have bigger needs.

Should be good at RB, FB, QB (unless we want a #3, gabbert signed for next year), possibly G, DL and S

I know Maliek Collins DT Nebraska 6'2, 320 is no secret, but check out this play where he lines up at RDE and pushes both Brandon Scherff and the LG for Iowa back into the QB:

Collins was a 19-year-old sophomore on that play. Scherff is 2 and a half years older than Collins.

FYI Simpson is signed for 2016.

I agree with your assesments though.

Thanks AB, I was thinking it was a 1 year deal the whole time. That's good because honestly I see him sticking around as the #3 this year and probably #3 or 4 next. Smelter will be back and hopefully he is the #2 if Boldin is gone. Ellington and Patton haven't shown anything to make us feel comfortable for next year or even this year. Simpson should provide nice vet depth and although I'm a fan of playing the younger guys vs the vets I'd rather see Simpson out there than a very old Moss or especially Brandon Lloyd.

I was going over some reading/watching of PAC-12 to get ready to post a bit of preview. So far ranked all the offensive units and half-way through the D.

The Ducks have a real interesting group of WRs.
-WR Bralon Addision* (5-10). He was their #2 WR as a sophmore in 2013, injured his knee and was out last year. Reminds me of Golden Tate. If his knee is healthy, probably a 3rd round pick or so. We will see.

-WR/RB Byron Marshall (5'9) - The ducks converted RB to WR was their leading WR last year. I'd probably slot him as a 5th rounder at this point.

-WR Dwayne Stanford* (6'5) - Obviously tall with a big reach, good hands, some very quick feet for someone his size. Not sure on hi top-end speed. I'd probably put him as a potential 3rd rounder

-WR Darren Carrington** (6'2) - A redshirt sophmore that technically could come out early. The Ducks deep threat with the most speed.

Gonna need a top 3 pick to get him. Probably #1 overall.
