Some thoughts:

- Our strongest OL (Vacula for Bench AND Squats) is a FRESHMAN (a COVID-Shirt True Freshman).

- Griffen is a guy who gets overlooked but he has played some solid ball out there - plus seems to be doing work in the weight room (He deadlifted almost 100lbs more than the next position group on the board.) If he can put on a few more pounds of weight it would be great. We have a thin DT rotation, would be great if he steps up like he can.

- Thomas is another guy who seems to be putting in the work on the D-Line.

- Good to see Cody Kopp get on the board. I believe he was injured last year and he should add some nice ILB depth. Interesting to see PUGH on the ILB list. Makes me feel like next year Pugh is back in the middle, flanked by Rattin and Rayner. The backups are Deveaux/ Kopp/ Cole.

- Good to see Cole on the list for Traps...must be recovered from the Knee injury because Traps are no joke...and deadlifting on one leg doesn't seem likely.

Good to see the guys on the board who are putting in work.

Would love to see this LB arrangement (Pugh flanked by Rattin and Rayner). I thought Rattin was playing out of position in the middle. He would probably be great on the outside.

I'm also high on Jeff Griffin, thought he played pretty well when given the opportunity.

I think he sees Ester as one of his future stables. Either way I think we'll be decent on the interior.

Of course. Ester/Taylor are going to get a ton of snaps. You need 4 quality DTs if you can get em.
