The rest of the DL recruits we are targeting are all in that SDE/Potential future DT mold. Dennis Briggs, Jamarcus Chatman, Daniel Carson, and Dorian Gerald. Imo, Gerald is only a guy we should target if we miss out on the guys ahead. I only see us getting 2 of these 4, and it appears Briggs and Chatman are those 2 for us.

I agree with everything except maybe Briggs. He could definitely be 3-tech, but he looks like he has the build to go to 300+. Could end up being a 1-tech.

Every thread on this board mentions Tyson Campbell...... so weird.

Every year these posters need a prospect to get tightly wound up about.

This year it's Campbell.

Honestly I think yall are crazy if you really think Garvin and Joe Jackson aren't going to both be getting heavy PT at the same time. Obviously Joe Jackson is rarely leaving the field (he actually got more snaps than Chad Thomas did this yr), but Garvin will be playing opposite DE of him. Joe Jackson is going to be our starting SDE, and Garvin will be our starting WDE.

SDE: Joe Jackson > Demetrius Jackson
WDE: Jon Garvin > Scott Patchan > Gregory Rousseau

3tDT: Gerald Willis > Pat Bethel
1tDT: Jon Ford > Nesta Silvera > Tyreic Martin

Out of our targets, we are only targeting 2 TRUE DTs - Michael Thompson and Keondre Coburn. But while a complete longshot imo, if we were able to add Thompson and Coburn to Nesta at DT, we honestly would have the best DT class in the nation. I really hope we can finish with one of them at least, to add with Nesta. You know DT is getting most of the attention, but we are actually in just as bad of a place depth wise at DE as we are at DT.

After those two, Andrew Chatfield is definitely a weakside DE, which isn't as big of a need as SDE as you can tell from the depth chart I showed above (demetrius graduates, and joe jackson likely declare early), because we have Garvin and Rousseau. But we definitely neeed another in this class, and Thats Chatfields spot all the way.

The rest of the DL recruits we are targeting are all in that SDE/Potential future DT mold. Dennis Briggs, Jamarcus Chatman, Daniel Carson, and Dorian Gerald. Imo, Gerald is only a guy we should target if we miss out on the guys ahead. I only see us getting 2 of these 4, and it appears Briggs and Chatman are those 2 for us.

So I think this class will be Nesta Silvera, Gregory Rousseau, Andrew Chatfield, Dennis Briggs, Jamarcus Chatman, and HOPEFULLY one of Coburn/Thompson. Basically the only question imo is Coburn and Thompson. I think the other 3 additions are >80% chance.

D.jack is starting. Garvin needs to get stronger and get better vs the run. Garvin will play a lot and especially on 3rd downs when d.jack kicks inside and garvin and joe are comming off the edge.

Will Demetrius even be healthy by the start of the year?

Jon Garvin - 6'4" 235lbs. = 28.6 BMI
Demetrius Jackson - 6'3" 265lbs. = 33.1 BMI
Joe Jackson - 6'5" 258lbs. = 30.6 BMI
Chad Thomas - 6'6" 275lbs. = 31.8 BMI
Scott Patchan - 6'6" 240lbs. = 27.7 BMI
Trent Harris - 6'2" 248lbs. = 31.8 BMI

Not including Garvin that averages out to a BMI of 31.0, So basically that means Jon Garvin should be at 255lbs (ideally about 260-265lbs in his jr-sr yr). So I definitely agree Garvin needs to put on some weight. But we don't really know how much that is. He weighed 235 this summer, It's probably likely he's up to at least 240lbs right now. And I don't think its all that much to ask for him to put on between 10-20 lbs this offseason. If he gets to 6'4 250lbs, he's what Joe Jackson was this year (by BMI) and he held up against the run great.

I think its obvious that Joe Jackson and Jon Garvin will be getting the majority of the pass rushing snaps at DE. But I just straight up think Garvin will be the starter this year...at least in name. I think Demetrius and He will essentially get even snaps. But I also don't know when Demtrius will be healthy. If he misses most of the summer, I'd bet Garvin has basically locked the starting spot down by then.
