So we are going to fix this secondary but forget to upgrade at DL and LB?

Would adding 1 more at each position be considered fixing to you? We've already added 1 DT. And we have kept Mesidor and likely mostly will only play him at EDGE except for pass downs.

What I'd prefer is add a top LB and Wes to transfer out. I'd take that 100/100. And I don't even think Wes was all that bad. He was average. Plus I think Wiley will be almost impossible to keep off the field. And we have to get Hayes and Pruitt reps, and Popo is imo going to be a solid floor guy. And if Bobby is healthy Hes in same category as Hayes and Pruitt. Maybe even more so. But Honestly I don't see all that much point investing alot in LB if we are keeping Wes. Almost pointless....

Add a NT build who can rotate in on Run Downs for sure. Problem with that is there are usually very limited options for this type of player in the portal. We do NOT need another 3tech type. We need a run stuffer. Otherwise we are good at DT. And we have a **** load of talent at EDGE. Better to invest elsewhere like ensuring we give Beck a top WR from portal.

Malik Bryant at DE.

Some kinda hybrid pass rush role… don’t know the exact scheme I should probably watch some game film of our new DC and see if he played a similar player. I think he can be a huge force this year going into year 3

Last few classes? Lol I’ll give you 24’ class but miss me with the rest.

OSU, Oregon, Texas, UGA, Bama, etc., have all leveraged the portal to improve their rosters while recruiting at a high level in HS. Kids who don’t like the additions all bounced and they those schools said “bye” because they were upgrading. Miss me with that talk. It’s 2025.

Not at the defensive line position, which is exactly my point in this whole argument. If you want an elite dlineman, you won’t really find a lot of those in the portal. We had 5 stars at that position in our 2023, 2024 and 2025 classes (yes I’m counting Bain as a 5 star). With plenty of other highly ranked guys as well. Why bring a mediocre portal lineman when you have younger talent with higher ceilings already on the roster
