Rd1- zerhan Newton DT Illinois- been consistent with this all year. If he’s there he’s the pick. Immediately is clear cut 3-tech starter. He should push for 7-10 sacks immediately and watch a reinvigorated pass rush on the dline, as now oline have to prepare for more than Hendrickson.
Rd2- Brandon dorlus DT/edge Oregon-(tevondre sweat would be the DREAM HERE) continuing with the dline revitalization, Brandon dorlus is a edge that can play 3-4 edge, or kick inside on obvious passing downs. His raw power is geno like, and he has the speed and availing to be a stand up rusher or play2-5 tech. Another immediate impact player on dline, though not as immediate as Newton.
Rd3.-Cade stover te osu- after Brock bowers, stover is my favorite te in this class and a draft crush, wherever he ends up. Dude is exceptional, catches everything, and ALWAYS makes someone miss, usually a few someone’s. He’s a very very good blocker, as well as a great pass catcher. Very capable up the seam not just on check downs. Rebuild of te room starts now.
Rd4-Jackson powers Johnson-c Oregon- ted karras replacement, powers Johnson needs a year, but he’s got all the tools to be an above average center at the next level,
Rd5- Christian mohagany g BC-a elite run blocker who has some questions in pass pro. He tends to play to high in pass protection, but he’s a very good athlete who can be coached up. Alex cappa replacement. I have high hopes for him. Think he’s massively underrated. He should become a above average RG.
Rd6-Nasir stack house DT Georgia- the dj reader replacement. I don’t believe we resign reader and even so he’s declining. Stack house is similar to reader in offers nothing in the pass rush game, but run into his area at youre own Risk. He’s a brick wall, even on double teams. Does a great job of letting ball carrier commit to lane before disengaging and making tackle. Would slide right into that NT role.
Rd7- Latham ransom s osu- these are dart-throws, and I throw a dart at safety which is an area we’re weak in. Latham ransom brings major physicality to the position, as well as god high football is and elite athleticism.

In this scenario, we resign tee and Jonah, jones/yoshi takes over as starting slot.
Also not sure where you see 4- 3techs? Currently wr only have one legit 3-tech on roster. And he’s a free agent after next year doubt they resign. It’s why we need 3. We need a starting nose and 3-tech, along with backup 3-tech.lastly I do think it’s realistic for Newton as most dts aren’t stepping into as weak of a situation as we have.
Would love this honestly, think Powers Johnson and Stackhouse will go way before this but you never know. I see you have us re-signing
Tee and Jonah in this 2nd post so I have to quote it as well. As Synric said, Powers Johnson has played Guard a lot too, so not an only
Center prospect. To get Newton, Dorlus and Stackhouse would help the DL a ton. I just doubt we draft 3 DT's, maybe 2.
Love the picks, just expect a lot of these guys to go earlier. Mahogany is a good pick for sure, really like him in the mid rounds.
