4-5 OL every year.
On OL you need 5 starters, at least 3-4 backups who could start and 4-5 developing or waiting their turn to back up or start. That’s 13-14 high caliber players evey year. Perfect!
I’d say knock one number off for the DL. So 3-4 every year. 4 starters 3-4 backups who could start and 3-4 waiting so 11-12 every year for the DL. Perfect! That’s 25% of your team but the most important positions to have filled.
You need 3-4 QBs, 4-5 RBs, 12-15 WRs, 12-15 DBs, 6-8 LBs and 5-6 DEs. About 3-4 TEs and you have a team. The problem is keeping these numbers and having quality players throughout those numbers. Really we should have plenty of players with 85 limit.

This was the way to look at the roster and signing classes before the rules change. And in “normal times” this is still the case. However, if one specific position group loses multiple kids to the portal, those numbers will be adjusted accordingly.
Bottom line is that managing rosters over time are a bigger hassle than it used to be.
