Juju and KJ Lacey were about the same spot on the board.

No dude, Lacey barely got mentioned or visited. Hew could’ve easily had Lacey locked up at any time. Speaking of Lacey, did he enter the portal?

So quick review on the line...

We have Ellis, Jacobe Ward, Tai Buster all in second year
We have five incoming freshmen
Now four transfer lineman

Yeah we could sure use a couple more. We will probably get there.

Just chill fellas, we will be fine.

We will have bodies for sure, they might get mauled but they will be on the field.

Best is legit. Him, Simmons, and Ramil were a few of the best from portal IMO, even if all of them are sorta at their ceiling. For a year, they’re good.

Depth is a concern, and Best didn’t seem like the most necessarily addition with Ellis on the roster if we’re splitting hairs

They wanted a chunk of change and were a package deal

I assume one of Ellis or Best can slide to guard if needed.

I'm not criticizing any one player. I just look at that group on paper and I'm just not very confident. Maybe they will be great though. Lets hope.

Hope Brown is good at dodging tackles.

Neither line of scrimmage screams “talent advantage”. Feels like we are missing a dominant OG, and a couple of dominant defensive linemen. Those are dudes you have to spend big on. Our refusal to even target those types of transfers makes me wonder what Auburn’s NIL really looks like.

How close are we to being done in the portal?

Depends. we lost roughly 33 players to the portal, if they want to get back even, then about 10 or 11 more.

BTW...Did anyone else see this?

Ellis can definitely play guard and I’m not going to be overly upset with Brown already being comfortable with his Center. Would love another guy for sure though.

More than a handful of those 33 were walk-on / non-contributors
