As of Jan 11 2025 - what we still need before ND

Advertisement
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.

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

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

Did you hear if it's him?
 
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.

*This is assuming Lucas is in once that mess is resolved.
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.
