Devin White sucked for the Bucs last year with a 50.6 PFF grade. He was a hype job in a terrible LB class. Not only could Queen not beat him out, but he started '19 in a heavy rotation before finally solidifying his spot. His production is terrible. He has 59 solo tackles in his entire college career. By comparison, Murray had 69 just in '19.
Bell has a $7.5 mil cap number in the last year of his deal, which isn't bad. Brandon Wilson also established himself as one of the top KR men in the game last year. Are we going to carry 5 S's? If we do, Dugger is unlikely to dress on gameday because they'll dress Bell and Bates as starters, Williams to come off the bench and for big nickel/star duty, and Wilson for returns.
I'm not saying Lewis is a bad prospect overall. However, he cannot pull and you have to be able to pull to play G in this offense. There's a lot of these mauler type G's like Lewis, Lemieux, Stenberg, etc that are day 3 prospects because they can't pull and it really limits the number of offenses they can be effective in.
So, your hindsight on White shows that for one season, he was a hype job. And as far as Queen goes, I would imagine 32 teams disagree with you, as do I, but we will see. Queen's play in that National Championship game was outstanding. Showed tremendous sideline-to-sideline range with the deceptively fast Lawrence.
As far as having 5 active safeties on game day, I don't think it is such a stretch if they use Williams as more of a nickel backer.
Lewis not being able to pull (not agreeing that he is completely incapable of it, as he was simply not asked to do it as a RG) limits where he would play, but I love him as a RG.
