I'm glad not to see Tyler Williams' name mentioned among the WR's specified.
I think part of the disappointment from some about the class so far is tied to our lack of traction with an elite outside WR1 who can separate as a route runner, bring premier RAC ability, and stretch the field vertically, especially given what we're seeing from Smith at OSU and Williams at Alabama. Our WR haul may still end up as very good, but it sounds like we'll have to wait another year to try to get that Jeremiah Smith, Dakorien Moore-level receiver.
A DB class with Pickett, Hanks, Antoine, Merritt, and Stubbs would be an absolute grand slam, though, and provide a much-needed infusion of premier talent in the secondary.
Ultimately, the portal QB we're able to land -- assuming we prioritize one -- will be the most important player acquisition of the offseason. Closing strong on the trail and landing a top-tier portal QB to take the reins from Ward would provide plenty of cause for continued excitement.
