Agree on pretty much everything you wrote. Spend big on the DL/DE similar to what Texas Tech did but on a more "Washington" scale and get one senior type CB from the B12 or ACC. Along the offensive line, talent is there and you assume development will happen. If it doesn't and G. Hatchett is still starting at guard then something catastrophic has happened with the young players. He's a good depth piece but was statistically the worst lineman that was trotted out this year. He allowed the most sacks and pressures on the team and was second in most penalties. If and hopefully when he gets beat out it will mean Champ, Henning or Shaefer, maybe all three, have taken a much needed step forward and Hatchett can be your experienced sixth man off the bench/goal line TE. I don't think this team is that far away from being really good despite Judds offense.

Is G. Hatchett coming back to potentially ride the bench though? OTOH, he definitely isn't going pro so might as well make some more cash and perhaps work on a grad degree.
If Boston leaves, they definitely need to go after a good and experienced WR. Relying on who they have now is risky. But that's about it, they don't need to do anything else on O.
I'm not ready to dismiss DeGraaf. Normally, he would have redshirted in 2024, been a backup for a year in 2025, and then competed for starting job as a RS-Soph.

I would have to think G Hatchett comes back as a guy who is expected to be a depth guy. I feel like at this point for the long-term it's time to start a young guy there and make sure he doesn't portal.
I wonder if Puyallup native Dwyer, at TCU now, could be an option there. I am sure there will be more money open with Boston to the NFL.
I would think there is a good chance another local, Dorian Thomas, New Mexico by the way of Arizona and Judd, who had a big year at UNM, comes in at TE.
