Too many variables to say. It depends entirely on the scheme the DC runs, the individual player, and how that player fits that scheme and position.
 
It's great to read he's making progress. **** have to keep adding weight. Might be a situational guy is my hope .

Question how do you know Blount is very much ahead of Lowe? Be honest

Fair question. Blount got quite a bit of PT last year and has been - by all accounts - terrific in the spring. He’s over 260 and has an ideal frame - right now - to be a key contributor. Lowe is getting there and he is on a similar trajectory. Maybe “very much ahead” is a bit much but I’ll settle for “ahead”. Both will be rotational guys.

As for lightfoot, what little I’ve seen of practice tape, I’m not seeing it - yet - but we’ll see.

Yes. That was before Baron transferred in. I feel he was overhyped by some. He had Bain level production in high school so the hope was we had found another Bain. Those are rare.

I mean he was getting at good amout of PT last year and was DE4 by the end of the year. Will probably compete for a starting job this year
 
Do yourself a favor, apply sunscreen before hanging out in this thread. Quite a few sunshine pumpers. Stacked at DE? Well, Bain had a quite impressive freshman campaign and can realistically be projected as above average - All-Conference. Other than that? Mesidor was a revelation 2-3 years ago, but better than average? Hope so, but we'll see. As for the rest, clearly a handful of high-caliber recruits, who all have to prove themselves on Saturdays.

And yeah, there clearly appears to be an attempt to use media outlets to acknowledge guys who might hit the portal - whether desiring to keep them around to develop and fulfill 'potential', or even simply to retain as depth pieces. Probly wise to take a lot of this with a grain of salt. Though the smoke on the Lowes, Poysers and Lucas's of the world seem legit.

It All Good,I surmise that Too.Just don’t know How we really know is anyone Really Ahead of Lowe if it’s not a Veteran.
But Armando Blount would be that one.

I think Justin Scott might have something to say about that.

Scott is a DT

Exactly. My initial list was DEs only. DTs is much much worse off. For 2 spots, we have only 3 legit players and a walking wounded who "could" be special at some point. Add to this that Russell and Newton were both bubble takes, and Jones was considered a project, and DT screams portal to me.

Defensive EndsDefensive Tackles
(3) Starting Rotation: Bain, Mesidor, Bryant (on passing downs)
(3) Emerging: Blount, Lowe, Lightfoot
(4) Developing: Rudolph, Pickett, McConathy, Scroggins		(2) Starting Rotation: Blay, Moten
(1+1) Emerging: Scott + Horton but he is always injured
(3) Developing: Jones, Simpson, Newton, Russell
