As of Jan 10 2025 - what we still need before ND

[OrangeBowlMagic]

A new HC and smarter players

I know a friend in real life is out of the question but just for some different feels try out not being the worst for a few mins.

That’s rich coming from a massive sunshine pumper like you

The slot position at will be open for grabs, and it’s btw Ray Ray and NY Carr. IMO, I don’t think they r the answers. A WR 1 be great and if that guy is an outside WR move JoJo to the slot.
OT- I would go with a starter caliber OT
DE would be great- but iI think they are fine there rn, it will depend on if Medford leaves and/or Bain gets move to DT.

I’m a big believer in Josh Moore in the slot. He profiles like a lot of the bigger slot WRs In the nfl now and could be a good mismatch. But he’s probably a year or 2 away,

Need Lucas badly. This is insane how this is playing out. Putting him in that DB room is crazy work compared to what we just watched.

Ideally adding another back for depth, another WR, Lucas, and one more defender in the front 7 would be icing.

The holes on this team continue to decrease rapidly.

Need a DC too, obviously.

 

[HughFreezemyCuckoldYesPlz]

Hire Al Golden as DC

 

[smack99]

1.) DC
2.) #1 WR
3.) EDGE
4.) MLB
5.) S
6.) RB
7.) DT

Agree, but I was being greedy...and looking to 2026 when our OL will take a huge hit with Mauigoa, Cooper, Bell, Brockermeyer leaving

I trust their evals for most part on OL so I know if they like someone enough they'll push hard and always have a shot to close

Do we know if Mesidor is back?

 

[IbzRlz]

Do we know if Mesidor is back?

No official word yet, but seriously doubt he has much better than a 6th or 7th round draft grade at this point. Probably would make more playing at UM next year

 

[01Falsetto]

1. Xavier Lucas
2. Wr 1 starting
3. 1 LB
4. 1 DE (depending if Mesiodor stays)
5. 1 Te Blocker
6. 1 Safety depth or starting
7. 1 DE (depending if Mesiodor stays)
8. 1 DT depth
9. Running back 1 depth
10. Guard (depending on spring)

 

[P-Tizzle]

They are working on a WR. Not a small name either. That's the word.

Did you hear if it's him?

 

[90scane]

1.) DC + quality Defensive staff
2.) #1 WR
3.) Bring back Martinez
4.) 1 more DB

I'm going to wait on DC/Staff to let them decide if Popo/Hayes + Wes/Pruitt are good enough. They also could go 3/4 which puts Pickett/Lighfoot/Rudloph on the field a ton at LB.

Imo, 1 RB (depth), Productive slot and outside guy, 1 productive depth piece at DT, Starting MIKE, Xavier Lucas, and DC

Do you see Lucas playing S here (assuming we land him)? I think we need another S pretty badly if he’s going to play CB.

 

[ssvir]

We need a game wrecker DE, an alpha WR, and a difference making LB.

 

[YLCANE]

DT

At least one starting LB
Safety - Lucas?
Kicker
RB
1-2 WR
Then we are cooking

 

[SaiyaMan305]

1. Great DC preferably one that doesnt drop d lineman to cover
2. WR1
3. Starting LB
4. Starting Safety
5. Lucas
6. Run stuffing DT
7. Depth RB


8. Try and get Damon Wilson if not just roll with what we have

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

With how deep the RB position is in the NFL draft, it would be great if Martinez reevaluated and decided to come back another year.

 

[madsworldcane]

Wardaddy DT… maybe 2
