It’s a two way street.
True, you need to develop from recruiting HS seniors.
True, you need to keep them.
But some will leave. We have over 20 defensive backs. Some will not be happy that they are behind the others. They will transfer out. Maybe to ULL, but maybe to Alabama or ole miss.
Those 20 or so DBs take up room on the 85.
The shallow five or so DTs need to be backed up by two or three more.
You cannot rob Peter to pay Paul on an 85 limit.
Roster management also has PAR LEVELS for each position. When you are heavy on one position, it takes away from the other.
Back to DTs.
Add two or three.
Go for the best…..even if they start over your guys you recruited years ago. You want to win today vs mortgaging your future so “your” guy can one day start.
You win today. Go for the best players in the portal.
I still have faith that Kelly knows what he’s doing on the DT front.

And by par levels I mean this:
An ideal roster looks even at each position.
You’ll see that you need more qb and Rb than each Wr position.
Qb 4 or 5
Rb 4 or 5
X 3
Y 3
Z 4
Te 4 or 5
OT 4
Og 3
C 3
Og 3
Ot 3
——offense 38
De 4
Ng 4
Dt 4
Jack 4
MLB 3
Will 3
Cb/nickel 5
Cb 3
Fs 4
Ss 3.
——37 defense
Special teams?
3 for a DS, K, P
That’s 78,
You’ve got room to add 7 more where you want.
And the par level list is all wrong but just an example.
I don’t even know what the defense is going to look like.
