NOTES
So, as of this moment, we can take 6 more for a class of 11.
But 3-4 guys on this list won't even make it to the 2022 season. Invariably there will be 1-2 who aren't happy with their situation coming out of spring, and 1-2 more in August.
There is no chance McNamara and McCarthy will BOTH be here in 2023.
You have a number of 5th year seniors for 2023 - Jack Stewart, Gabe Newburg, Joey Velazquez, Jalen Perry, Quinten Johnson - who will absolutely not be here if their position in the depth chart doesn't change radically and unexpectedly in the next 10 months. Might also include Alan Bowman in this list, who will be like 30.
Blake Corum, Mike Morris, DJ Turner, Zak Zinter, and Trevor Keegan are all candidates to conceivably enter the draft.
So I think we're looking at a 2023 class of right around 25.
Broken down by needs I see:
QB (1)
RB (2) - already have 1
TE (1) - already have him
WR (3) - already have 1
OL (5)
DT (1)
DE (2)
EDGE/OLB (2)
ILB (2) - already have 1
CB (2)
S (2)
K/P (1) - already have him
That's 24 needs for 24-26 openings, leaving you just enough wiggle room to "make room for" 1-2 supers.
