Thought for the day, from a reader of Gary Laney at GeauxTigerNation on ESPN.com: "With Brandon Harris, DeShone Kizer and Mason Rudolph looking like the three main quarterbacks on LSU's wish list, it looks like LSU is going in the direction of the mobile quarterback.

When the Buffalo Bills made EJ Manuel the first QB off the board at last month's draft (No. 16 overall), some eyebrows were raised, as many had assumed that another passer would earn that honor (Geno Smith, perhaps, who lasted until pick No. 39 overall). But in the time since, we've heard from many Bills decision-makers regarding their strong impressions of Manuel. The Florida St. product will be competing with Kevin Kolb (and, in theory, Tarvaris Jackson) this offseason for the right to be the club's starter, and there are some who believe he may well win the competition.

Michael DiRocco of GatorNation on ESPN.com says that the Florida Gators' biggest need in this year's recruiting class can be found on the offensive line.

The reason is simple: The Gators' starters are all upperclassmen. They will lose center Jonotthan Harrison, right guard Jon Halapio and guard/center/tackle Kyle Koehne after the 2013 season and left guard Max Garcia and right tackle Chaz Green after 2014.

The good news for Florida is that they already have commitments from OT Benjamin Knox (Deland, Fla./Deland), G Travaris Dorsey (Jacksonville, Fla./Raines) and G Joseph Paul (New Orleans/St. Augustine). DiRocco lists some other players Florida is looking at to fill their needs:
