I would say if we count the Buck as a DL we need 4 in the portal. 2 interior 1 strong side and 1 rush end. I’m not sure we don’t need a corner or nickel from the portal as well.

Offensively the players we have just have to play better period and that is for every position. Especially our “star” players… Hunter has to pass protect better, fairweather has to dominate defensive backs blocking in the open field, OL has to keep the pocket clean, Thorne has to check down more and throw fewer interceptions. The WR room has get much better. I think having Maurice Harris helping Marcus with the WRs is going to make a big difference.

I agree on Thompson, thats why I said "late fall".

I think strongside we will be okay on DL if Faulk stays there. You have Amaris and DJ Lindsey to back him up, but it will be inexperienced. Same with edge MacLoed and two true freshman, but darn talented.

Interior is what is scary. Jayson Jones, lets face it, he doesnt scare anyone, and then Zeke Walker, Travis, Reed, Trill, Gage Keys, Blockton. Next year we will have a good haul for interior, but they will still be a year away from being peak. Love to get a couple interior guys who are very good and have a couple of years, but probably wishful thinking, will end up with a couple of one and done.

The ray of hope was playing it very close and threatening UGly and beating bama for all but a fluke. Most of what was in-between those, was bland and uninspiring.
