1) OL - feels pretty safe to assume
2) RB - multiple high end RBs and late transfer seems to also be a very strong RB3
3) CB - invested heavily, would have been 11 last year
4) DE - Giving Bain and Messidor benefit of the doubt and I think Lowe can have a tremendous freshman year
5) QB - higher than probably should when factoring but I believe Beck is as good as it gets in CFB for
25
6) TE - Projecting some with Lofton but Bauman to me is going to be top 4-5 ACC TE this year
7) LB - Only reason I have above DT is I am a huge Toure fan. If he’s healthy I don’t have same fears.
8) DT - Haven’t seen Blay enough but he should be a game wrecker for us given the hype
9) WR - this unit sucks IMO, major misses and if Trader is hurt it’s become a group of average stacked on top of average
10) S - Poyser should be great but that other spot could wreck a season if nobody emerges
11) ST - I know we have an AA returner but it seems that this kicker is the worst kicker of all time lol

Relevant Info on QBs from ChatGPT :
  • NFL today: QB per-game injury rate might be closer to ~1.8–2.0% (instead of 2.5% pre-2015), based on post-2018 roughing rule enforcement trends.
  • P4 level: Likely slightly belowthe NFL’s current number because of:
    • Lower average pass-rush speed/power compared to NFL
    • More aggressive flagging for targeting
    • Larger performance gap between O-lines and D-lines, so many elite QBs face less frequent clean contact
P4 QBs Who Missed at Least One Game in 2024 Due to Injury (8/64 P4 starters = 12%)
  • Carson Beck – Georgia
    Torn UCL in SEC Championship Game → missed CFP.
  • Davis Warren – Michigan
    Tore ACL in ReliaQuest Bowl → out for remainder.
  • Tyler Van Dyke – Wisconsin (formerly Miami)
    Torn ACL Week 2 → out for season.
  • DJ Uiagalelei – Florida State
    Midseason injury → missed multiple games.
  • Brady Cook – Missouri
