Can never count out Auburn's unique scholarship programs but IMO that's a top 4 + random schools.

McKenzie and Jones would be just fine. Both could see early reps. Hopefully the coaches can get him. Little surprised usce is 4th, figured they would be higher.

Do we get Jones for two or three years? If only for two I would rather have Settle.

Well I guess I was wrong. I would love to have Jones. But also really like Settle. Don't see us getting all three

Kind of depends on what the coaches are seeing on campus now IMO. If they feel really good about the DT spot, I agree taking the HS kids make more sense on the long run. IF they know we need more help ASAP, Juco can be a better bet for short term help as often times those guys come in more physically ready to play day 1.

If you need a 6 man rotation, we have maybe 2 right now who might be good SEC tackles. We could easily use 3 more.

UT should take 4 DT IMO. This has been one of our biggest weaknesses for 6-7 years. We need quality and quantity.

I don't mind others having an opinion. Just have to see how it plays out. I still think we take 2 DTs and 3 DEs. Landing McKenzie, Jones, Tuttle, Settle, while fun talking about it, was just never going to happen. Getting more than 2 top caliber DTs in a class is rare IMO. Kids have way too many options to all decide on the same place. Does not matter who the coaching staff is.

I think there will be between 5-7 total DL. I can see it ending up anywhere in that range.

Very true but kids are starting to get smart especially D-linemen and RBs they understand they can't do it alone and are trying to team up
