That will probably round out the OL class
There seem to be mixed reports on whether we'll continue to pursue Albert Simien, though most seem to think the money won't be there to really stick around in that race.
So before Memorial Day, 2027 will be (likely) done at the following spots -
QB
RB
OL
TE
Might throw CB/S in there too, but seems like they'll probably try to grab another guy for the secondary, likely more a safety than a corner.
The rest of the summer will be spent filling out DL and WR, and hoping for some positive traction at LB, which looks like the only spot where we're perhaps lagging behind usual standards. Supposedly this has to do with Bullough being a disappointing recruiter, which is not something I think we heard while he was still on staff.
Anyway, another incredible effort by Freeman and the staff, assuming they can continue to close, and of course hang onto what we've got.
