Projecting Depth and Needs Post Signing Day

I'd say you were a bit optimistic in some of your grading:

QB - B (would make it a B+ due to Lagway upside but dinged due to lack of depth)
RB - B
WR - B- (Tre could be a star but no other proven playmakers)
TE - C (production has been lacking but does have potential)
OT - C- (Crenshaw Dickson needs to produce or back to ill-fitting OTs)
OG - C- (don't see difference makers here, maybe can move an OT inside?)
C - C (Eggy gone, Slaughter ok, need Kearney to make a leap)
DT - B (starters good but depth is shaky)
Edge - B (actually higher on our young DEs & getting Boone back)
LB - C+ (only James has been consistent, need Scooby & backups to step up)
CB - C (guys haven't produced or catch INTs, Moore can't stay healthy & Kimber avoids contact)
S - C- (young and lack depth, Mitchell isn't on roster & Weston at LB)
STs - F! (not because of the players, worst ST coaching I've even seen at UF?)

Need difference makers in the portal at almost every position. Coaching needs to quickly improve or we're going to have another poor season with our brutal schedule.

I can agree with most of this, but I would differ on at lease one or couple.

Slaughter got a "C" in your opinion? I'll say this just between the two of us. I think when healthy Slaughter is better than "Eggy" is even now. There are articles written about Slaughter and his elevated play and status as a Center for the Gators out there. I would give an healthy Slaughter a B or B+ at worst... like I said if he's fully healthy.

I think Jason Marshall and a healthy Devin Moore are at least a solid B or B+ right now at cornerback.

I moved C & CB up to B- in my last post but can't go higher than that until the CBs and OL perform better on the field.

Worth re-evaluating now that we've brought more players in through the portal.

QB - B (same)
RB - B+ (due to Baugh emerging)
WR - A- (Picking up Badger was huge since can't just focus on Tre)
TE - C (same)
OT - C+ (added Manuel who should be a good depth piece)
OG - C (slight bump due to George moving inside & Lovett emerging)
C - B- (lowballed Slaughter, added Zandamela but probably won't play much this year)
DT - B+ (added frosh Robinson, Lyons emerging)
Edge - B (same even with Gumbs addition)
LB - B (added Pup, finally have some depth here)
CB - B- (got rid of Kimber & added Grimsley & McClain)
S - B+ (added vets Turner & Douglas who are 2 of our top 3)
STs - F (not changing until proven on the field)

I guess you overlooked that 5* edge
