I wasn't high on FAU, but the DL class is that good.

I think we'll hear more and more about it being a special class as draft season progresses. We do NOT want to be chasing OT in this draft, fellas -- it's just not the time.

Overpay for Robinson if you need to. Sign Humphries if you have to. Pray that Jackson hits the market if you have God's ear.

But don't go nuts chasing a LT prospect -- this ain't the class to do it. The pure talent isn't there and the opportunity cost would be ENORMOUS. I mean the idea of trading our 1st and 2nd to go up for someone like Conerly at the cost of Scourton and Deone Walker just makes me throw up in my mouth.

We could set this DL up for a half-decade if we get things right this year. Let's do THAT.

Yeah. I don’t see how you draft a project tackle over this kind of prospect.

Nic Scourton is well-rounded edge prospect.

He’s 6’4, 285lbs yet moves incredibly well and is known for his signature spin move. He’s also one of the better run defenders in this class.

Oregon DT Derrick Harmon #BuildingTheBoard

Harmon spent three years at Michigan State where he was a solid run stopper (81.1 PFF grade vs the run) but wasn't much of a factor as a pass rusher. Before the 2024 season he transfered to Oregon and completely transformed his body and… pic.twitter.com/XshQVDXon1

Feels like 2016 when we got Chris Jones, which was also a loaded DL class.
