PFF All ACC Preseason 8 Canes 1st team

I'm glad we've got them. But what does it say about the state of ACC O-lines when two of the first teamers are just transferring into the conference, and another missed basically all of 2022?

8 first team ALL ACC selections leads all teams

FSU has 4
UNC has 4
Clemson has 3

Miami only has 1 in addition to those first team selections.

Does the is indicate depth isn't there yet like many insiders like @Cribby have mentioned?

Front line talent seems really solid at this point.
Nah, we have a lot of young guys who can play. They will get recognized next year. Also, Francis should be on the list as well as TVD. Kade hasn’t shown enough to be listed ahead of TVD IMO. Francis was an all conference player at WSU and I expect him to play better with better players around him and more experience. We have more than enough talent. But those lists also will be too heavy with teams that won games in the previous season also. I wouldn’t put too much stock into these right now anyways, but the guys we have listed they are obvious certified ballers & couldn’t be kept out of the lists.

Talent is evident with JW. If he puts in the work like Kam does he's a lock for the first round. It's a big if though.
Kid was only a sophomore last year and at times tried to do too much. Also he played with a torn labrum. It takes a man to have the will to tackle someone with that injury! He was around the rock a lot.
 
We will have 3 first round picks in the spring, all from the defense

My bold prediction

Personally, I'm rooting for Zion to reach his potential this year. But, as far as the pros are concerned, he's gonna have to get that 300 pound gorilla (often injured) off of his back.
