The lack of perspective on here, especially as it relates to DT is fucking hilarious. Of all the positions around- jag types at DT are just fine. Would it be awesome to have a fucking all pro at every position? Sure. But if you are going to JAG go JAG at this route where literally any huge fat body can anchor down and gum things up enough to sort of quasi throw their shit in the muck. It’s not like we are planning on not fielding a DT
Order of preference to spend money on should be just about like the NFL draft and should roughly go:
QB, DE, OT, WR, CB, DT, S, LB, RB, TE
we have the best QB room maybe in our programs history. DE was a huge problem and now it’s not. Currently in really good shape at OT WR is fucking stacked. If you want to argue that we are allocating too much to RB and should repurpose that to DT I’d probably agree. If you want to say what we are doing at WR for high school kids is overkill with how stacked our room is and how good at portal we’ve done and abundant quality in portal while that’s more rare at DT sure. But you are nitpicking. If the offense goes out and scores 50 a game and we have studs coming off the edge while the other team is in passing situation we will be absolutely fine.
College football is like MLB in that there is no salary cap and vastly different level of resources between different teams- and yet- I’m still waiting for the MLB team whose fans don’t pick apart one area of the team as substandard and notch and moan about it.
