How does this list relate to our actual needs?

Please revert ASAP. Thx.
In only caring about the portal for starters or true depth pieces (non developmental), here's what I think we'll do:

Pos.
Starters
Have | Need​
Depth
Have | Need​
Need
QB
1 | 1​
0 | 1​
We need the backup QB from the portal
RB
2 | 2​
2 | 2​
none
TE

Depends on what Nate and Fidone do, and I'm also not sure what the TE position will be under Dana, but Luke can be the starter. HH is likely a back-up piece. Don't think we have the other backups so if we lose both Nate and Fidone, then we'll need to bring in a TE.
WR
3 | 4​
4 | 4​
Lloyd was darn close to 200 snaps last year, which is my "top 35" demarcation. I am comfortable with him, Bonner, and Barney, but we need a fourth. That fourth is also probably our leading receiver, so kind of important. If we take 2 WRs, that means we aren't comfortable with Lloyd taking more snaps next year.
OT

We need a starting tackle. Mabye two depending on where Corcoran and Teddy are.
IOL

Hopefully Guidice fills the need here.
DT

I think we need another DT who can take a bunch of snaps.
Edge
Jack + DE

Nwaneri and Keona coming back covers us. If McGahee or Lenhardt portal, we'll need to backfill them with our own portal guy.

I think we need a starter type transfer. I've got Shavers and Bullock, but don't think we anticipate Rogers or Chrisitian Jones ready for that spot.
CB
2 | 2​
2 | 2​
none
S

If Hartzog sticks around, then we only need one safety, but still have concerns he'll do that. But Buford and Stewart are probably 2 of the main players.
ST
2 | 3​
0 | 0​
Need a starting punter.
 
I still think we should consider it. I get the opposition though but I would still give him a flyer and see.
