DT & DE Portal Targets?

Totally disagree
DE
Hayden Lowe sounds like a player, but he’s coming off injury as well.
I love Lightfoot, but he’s not an every down DE due to his size.
Pickett may be in the same boat as Lightfoot

Hopefully Cole McConathy can come off his injury and play.

DT
Who replaces Blay?
We’d have Scott, Moten (hopefully), and Blount.

We have a few freshmen coming in, but we need to add starter worthy depth

Pickett, lightfoot, and Scroggins r behind 2 of the best DEs in the nation and have gotten better, bigger, and stronger every offseason and all got snaps last game. If nobody transfers out those guys will play plenty and be an every down DE at 240+.


I said if another DT doesn’t leave we don’t need 2 DTs. Scott replaces Blay. But, I digress, since they lost Simpson and Russell, they might need 2 DTs. Still got Jones who has been injured, and they r bringing in 5 DTs. I’ve watched a lot of film, if Simpson can get some pt at least 2 of those guys will.

DT: Scott, Moten, Blount, Jones, Portal DT, 5 Freshmen
DEs: WDE- Scroggins, Pickett, Lightfoot, 2 Freshmen SDE: Lowe, McConathy, Portal SDE/3Tech.

So u can sit here and worry about depth, but it’s literally the exact same as this season. So I don’t see them taking 2 DTs or 2 DEs unless there’s some movement.

FYI we aren’t getting anybody as good as Bain and Mesidor, so y’all can get that out of yall heads.

I sure hope this is Mario chess. He's learned enough by now from past successes and failures not to have his targets already identified and in NIL discussions, don't you think? Especially at QB, WR and DL where only a few pieces that fit become available each portal?

As someone earlier stated , we are not going to find anyone close to what bain and mesidor brought to this defense. And that worries the **** out of me. As everyone else , I wonder just how much of a drop off in disruption we are going to deal with. Those 2 on the same line is just incredible. I hope the boys stepping in their shoes can be at least 70% as destructive as we saw this year. Otherwise we may be extremely disappointed.

Will be plenty of time to discuss this but need Lowe to be every bit of the hype. I’d love to see us add a big ticket high end rusher, it’s necessary IMO.

You’re right though, Bain/Mesidor aren’t replaceable and that shouldn’t be the expectation.

I’m glad you aren’t responsible for building a roster

Have a Great New Year

Agree 100 . Expectations is the key word. I don't think we will see an impactful combo like those 2 in my time left. What a pleasure to witness them put us back in this position.
