Yes, How many you think they try to add in the trenches on defensive side?

Trenches on DL, we need min. 2 experienced starters, but I would try to get 3-4 as we need that many.

Current depth for DT and NT we have only the following 5: Guillory 320, Jalen Lee 308, Dom McKinley 285, Shone Washington 305, DeMyrion Johnson 295. The only true NT is Guillory but Shone and J. Lee can also play the NT position. I would bring in Kimo M. 310 from the OL to play NT so out of the 4 we can rotate 2-3 to keep fresh during a game.

For DT I think Dom McK. will need to be ready playing at 290-295, or if we get Blee That (Philip Blidi 295), he would probably start inside next to Guillory. Also, Saivion Jones lost a step last year so add another 10 lbs. and move him to DT at 6'6 290. I would also bring in a bad arse DE if they have to give Swinson and Howard some competiton at EDGE/Jack.

My starters & Depth on the whole DL:


DE- Dashawn Womack, Paris Shand, S. Jones (if he stays here) Gabriel Reliford, Ahmed Breaux (4-5 guys)
DT- Blidi/Other Portal, S. Jones, Jalen Lee, Dom. McKinley (4 guys)
NT- Guillory, Shone Washington, Portal 320 weight, D. Johnson, Kimo M. (5 guys)
Edge/Jack- Swinson, Jaxson Howard, Portal 265 weight, Carpenter, CJ Jackson (5 guys)

See what the whole DL looks like from my view? Actually it looks better from my view above than on our current depth charts, if things shake out with a few portal players, one OT coming to the defense, and we might move slow moving Saivion inside to DT.
