This was brought up, and it highlighted to me what HUGE question mark the 2027 DL could be depending on draft defections.
We obviously lose Moten and Wilson.
DMoney hypothetically mentioned the outlook if we lose Blount, Scott, and Lightfoot.
NOW, I do not think any of those 3 are playing right now as a 1st round pick. Obviously Lightfoot and Blount are dealing with some injuries at the moment.
D seemed to think Blount could be most likely to return.
I personally don't think Scott is playing like a first rounder right now, solid, but not nearly what I think is his full potential. We could pay him 3-4 Million to come back, and go Moten route, and then try to develop him into a top 15-20 pick in first round.
Lightfoot is still fairly skinny, and obviously doesn't have a ton of snaps yet for a team to invest a ton into a 3rd year slightly built player. Miami could sink money into him to come back, continue to develop into a top 10-20 type pick.
Blount I think is interesting in that I think he is a NFL player all day, but he is going to be a 3T in NFL? He needs some more weight if so. Or he can stay the same, and come back to become a more well rounded bigger DE with a better array of pass rushing moves.
When you look at it, the 2025 recruiting class could be the reason this position could be little dicey. Lowe is a freak talent, but had the other issues. Simpson was a great eval, and an athletic big DT that is going to be a good one. He currently already has 3 sacks and 3 TFL for Missouri as a true sophomore DT.
So not talking about those above DL.
Herbert Scroggins
Booker Pickett
DeAnthony Lafayette
Asharri Charles
Jaiden Bryant
Jayvon Dawson
Jarquez Carter
Keona Davis
Logan Nagle
Keshawn Stancil
Issac Chukwurah
Frederic Sainteous
Demarco Jenkins
Thoughts? Could we see a big ticket DE and DT from portal depending on who comes back?
