That's how every position works. You don't know if the guys that were good last year will be good this year either. I recognize we're splitting hairs here, but taking 3+ pure DTs seems like overkill. Would be interested in a tweener type that could play DE too. Naturally, my position on this is irrelevant if you have the opportunity to land a 5* caliber player. You obviously always take those guys if they're interested regardless of room.
Most teams carry about 8 DTs and 8 DEs (teams like Bama, Clemson, Ohio St. do) . You don't want to run into a situation where you're running very thin depth and have to rely on freshman like we're going to have to do with Silvera this upcoming season.
We absolutely need 3 DTs and 3 DEs this cycle. Because our depth is razor thin.
