DT & DE Portal Targets?

Number1CanesFan said:
This is just dilly. Why do we need 2 DEs from the portal? We have 3 5-star DEs waiting in the wings as well as some higj end 4-stars.

Blount, Lightfoot, Lowe, Pickett, Scroggins, McConathy, and Bryant.

It drives me nuts that people think every solution is in the portal when it's right there on your roster.

Depth and competition

We have little returning experience and Lightfoot, as super talented as he is, isn’t an every down DE

Because Bryant wont be here, Blount seems to be moving more to DT, and Pickett is even skinnier than Lightfoot.

We have 3 EDGEs that are 250lbs+ and are losing two this year who played legit like 90% of snaps.

Not sure we NEED 2. But we 1000% need one SDE type, without question. Personally I'd have Blount still in the same role of EDGE on Run Downs and moving inside on pass downs.

In the summer during player interviews before the start of fall camp Pickett said he was 230 and in that same interview Lightfoot said he was 227. They both said the staff gave them a goal to get up to 230 by fall camp, Lightfoot even said he just missed the target by 3 pounds.

Pickett is thicker (pause) than Lightfoot, he is shorter and heavier. Of the two Pickett has the frame to put on the most weight.

Pickett definitely looks smaller than 230

A couple of those guys you mentioned are just names at the position and have proven nothing. If you can upgrade a McConathy for a Damon Wilson, you do it. Injuries happen.
