TDR will here take a look at positions of need in the Class of 2016 based upon what we're hearing on the ground from people in the know but also from plenty of evidence that's available.
At quarterback, expect them to take one. Matt Fink is someone they'd still consider a headliner and they even believe he's better than his ranking but they aren't putting all their eggs into one basket.
Over at running back I'd expect them to take an all-purpose back as well as a more conventional running back.
At receiver you're usually looking to take at least 2-3. I think this year they're a little flexible with the numbers but it will be a full group. There are so many top targets, that means there are several "takes" that would be takes at any time so really they're just hoping for a monster class here at the very least by quality and hopefully quantity too.
On the offensive line we do not expect a huge haul. That's in line with what we're hearing and the fact that Washington simply has not extended nearly as many offers to offensive linemen - tackles or guards - as most of the nation's other programs. They're being very selective here with no line commits to this point.
Expect them to take another tight end. It could be a conventional tight end with the more hybrid-type Michael Neal from the last class, or it could be a hybrid and a conventional tight end. They will have to hit the reset button as most of their tight end targets have committed to other schools.
