Gray is higher on my list. Harrison is much lower.

What is sad about this list is we have two spots (15 and 24) which are not named. So this suggests Daje is inferior to a player not even named.

Jinkens is much higher on my list as would be Ridgeway. MJ McFarland doesn't show up on my list at all.

 
I agree with most of this list. 

I would have Mykkele Thompson a good bit higher. If Texas gets good safety play out of Thompson this defense could be very good. I would also have Daje Johnson a little higher around 8 or 10. If Daje is utilized it makes our offense a completely different animal IMO. 

I'm probably in the minority here but I would have David Ash substantially lower, around like 7-10. I don't think this offense is dependent on a QB. IMO Texas is going to lineup with a lot of 2 TE looks and FB looks and pound the ball. The QB isn't essential to success. As long as the QB isn't turning the ball over I think this offense can generate some points. Great QB play would be much appreciated but I don't think it's essential. All we need is a QB that doesn't suck like Case.

1-I can agree with Gray and Harrison. 

2-I don't think this is a slight at Daje merely that the guard position is going to be critical. The guys over at 247 even said they would have used a name but that multiple guys are battling for the starting position. I don't think it's a comparison of player quality more a less an indication of which position has more need. IMO Daje should be rated higher on this list though. 

3-I can see McFarland not being on the list, but I think Jinkens and Ridgeway are about right. Jinkens maybe a little higher on the list.

Swaim should also be on this list over Collins, McFarland and Fera's replacement. Swaim is a critical piece IMO. Was arguably our best blocker at times last year.
