I agree we need to add a RB, do we REALLY need to add on the DL? Don't we have basically our 3 deep back this year? Seems like next year will be a DL heavy class.

I would say you always want to add at least one solid DL every class due to injury/attrition/portal/graduation. Further, good DL are hard to come by and it seems we are very good at evaluating that position, so really no excuse not to make room in this class (especially relative to other positions of focus in this class).
It’s weird because we are being really aggressive on OL recruiting the last two years.
They do have a lot of young DL + Ashton Murphy, but I don't know why the need to go heavy on DB.
Still a bit perplexed on how they're handling RB given that half of their returning scholarship backs are coming off of significant new injuries.
DB/LB/Rover is 8 of the 11 spots on defense so theoretically it makes sense, but I do wonder if you'll see a fair number of spring departure of 'transition class' DBs they took
