Jalen Rivers - going through his decision making process now but solid chance he’s back for another. Has an opportunity to get his Masters degree. Scouts think he’s playing out of position as a tackle — will play guard at the next level. 6th-7th round grade right now, could help himself coming back and working on his “stiffness” as was put to me


Matt Lee - Late/PFA grade right now and Miami pushing hard to get him back. Trusts Mario/Mirabal obviously. Getting him back would be absolutely massive

Who is Lee's replacement as of now?

Already on roster or another portal target?

Bringing Matt Lee back for another year would be MASSIVE. Really hope we make that happen.

In a dream scenario next year, we have a competition at the LT spot with Bell, Samson and Mccoy and best man wins , Rivers slides into the LG spot, Lee back at Center, Coop starts at Rg and Francis at RT. Another year of development for Cooper and Francis could make this a SCARY line next year.

Adding those 2 along with a plug in starter at QB will dictate how well our offense does.

Having Mario/Mirabel makes me feel confident that not only do they both come back but they both improve their draft stock as well.

I wonder if with another year of development (assuming both Lee and Rivers return) if McCoy would shift out to LT? I know obviously Samson will have a shot but depending on his injury I think that is TBD. But if they (NFL) are projecting him at G (and i think he played fine at T) Maybe we help him out with some tape at that position and the best 5 from left to right would be McCoy/Samson/Bell; Rivers; Lee; Cooper; Francis.

Or the mystery case of Zion returns for LT. I think McCoy will be a RS soph so 3 years in the program he should be ready, he looked good in limited time last year and was clearly first man off the bench. I am a little surprised at Lee's grade. I know C are not valued as high as T but a good center makes a big difference.
