That's a fair list. Puts us at 28-29, which as you noted seems a bit high considering what we've heard.

Looking at it objectively, we probably don't sign more than 4 CBs. Maybe one less WR and S? Tough decisions, especially if we have a ACCCG/Playoff level season and some kids start looking at us differently.
I could see us only taking 3 WRs. But that depends if Redding and Kirk leave or not too. If both leave 4 is fine. 3 and an ELITE portal WR is the best case scenario probably though.... Also, I could see us only taking 2 at DT and/or DE. Especially if like we got Elijah Griffin and Iose Epenesa. Like do that and get one additional HS player at each and we're rocking with a 2 year haul of:

DT: Justin Scott, Armondo Blount, Elijah Griffin (All three 5 stars), Artavius Jones, Daylen Russell, and likely Walter Mathis. So 6 over 2 years is fine.
EDGE: Marquise Lightfoot, Iose Epenosa (Both 5 stars), Booker Pickett, Cole McConathy, Elias Rudolph, and one more this class. So 6 over 2 years again is fine.

That's elite, and fine numbers wise, cause you want 8 or 9 for each position.


Maybe we got 4 CBs, 2 S, AND Amari Wallace who could do either. So 7 instead of 8 that I listed... Idk man I think this HS DB class needs to be big.
Right now if everyone were to return, in 2025 we'd have:
1yr Elig: Dyoni Hill and Jadais Richard
2yr Elig: Damari Brown
3yr Elig: Robert Stafford, Ryan Mack, Romans Federique

Thats 6 CBs returning, best case scenario. 11 is the ideal number of CBs to carry. Now maybe you say 4 HS and 1 transfer, which I'd be on board with. But I don't see us adding less than 5 CBs at the end of the day. And I think there is a decent chance 1 guy leaves - Between Hill possibly declaring or Richard/Stafford transfering out. So maybe 4 HS and 1 portal is the best move just because you don't want to create a logjam.

Safety, I'd be shocked if Balom returned. And it would be not shocking at all if Isaiah Thomas just doesn't fully recover or isn't the guy they thought after injuries, and ends up leaving or something. To me we probably have 4 playable Safeties in 2025. So need 2 no matter what imo. **** could get 2 and a portal guy...

Then again if we get Hanks, Pickett, and Stubbs, I'd probably have a complete IDGAF what Mario chooses, we just won big no matter what mentality to the rest of the db class lol
