Too bad Jefferson was struck by a drunk driver in Easter in a car accident. He survived, but is out all of next year.
Did see we met with Iosivas from Princeton. For two days. I like him as a developmental guy. Track guy (heptathalon), team captain. High RAS score. Came late to football. I love him 5/6.

We also had a visit with Landers from Arkansas. Another raw, bigger guy.
WR is not just about lining up a Boyd replacement, we need more deep speed. A non-Chase vertical threat. An upgrade to the Morgan on the roster, maybe Irwin, too. Big guys with speed who are raw. Also would not mind a Taylor upgrade. He was good in PR but adds nada to the offense.
I do not love Johnston at #28 from TCU nor Addison from USC. But wiuld take JSN in a heartbeat and wiuld look long & hard at Flowers if he is there.
Raw bigs with speed: Mingo (3/4), Brice-Wheaton (4/5/6), Iosivas (4/5/6), Landers (6/7).
Slot guys: Charlie Jones (4), Jayden Reed (4/5), Parker Washington (4).
I like the fact we are having meetings with these guys. Shows we recognize the need. The need for speed.
I think bigger needs and deeper classes at TE, DE, and CB probably take precedence early (Day 1 & Day 2). Or if we get lucky at OT, RB, or DT. But I could see 2 WRs on day 3, one of each type.
