The most important indication of the 2009 graph...

aside from the fact that we generally will be an experienced team, is that we are experienced in the most important positions. Although all experience helps, I think the three most important positions in which to have experience are QB, OL, and DL.

QB and OL are obvious, I think. With the DL, I would equate experience with physical maturity, which is important. A 5-star stud is probably better as a senior than a freshman. In contrast, experience seems less critical at positions like WR and RB (and maybe even DB, although I might be talking out my can on that).

At any rate, we are extremely experienced at QB and OL and, surprisingly, decently experienced at DL.
