You really shouldn't blame Florida coach Jim McElwain if he's still displaying that comically big smile after his 2017 recruiting haul. It wasn't the best the nation -- or the SEC -- had to offer, and he didn't even sign one stinking five-star. But from a pure needs standpoint, McElwain delivered in the areas he absolutely had to deliver in 2017.
Florida had to get quality along its defensive line. McElwain signed four guys who are projected to play along the defensive line, including three in the middle.
More than anything, Florida needed both quality and quantity in its secondary.
