LOL keyboard tough guy. Probably a boomer.
Nobody is saying the CURRENT defensive line isn’t elite. It is. And that’s in large part due to the elite level of recruiting in the 2024 class with three 5 stars. The point is that the recruiting on the dline, especially DT, hasn’t been at that level over the last two cycles (and currently this cycle).
If we have the type of season we all expect this year, realistically two of Scott, Lightfoot and Blount are probably gone to the NFL. So project out to the 2027 and 2028 seasons and we’re missing those elite talents that we’re going to rely on this year. This isn’t a position that contributes year 1 so this year’s class is for 2+ years down the line. Again, if you don’t believe me, listen to DMoney on this morning’s pod. He and Pete made exactly this point.
