If his knees hold up Ross, but Gaines or Vea will be best, though you left them off. Gaines is absolute beastmode
It really is abundance. There are ten pros in the two deeps rather easily and who knows what kind of talent is buried/will be developed behind them.
Best roster in a long ass time but best player development since DJ (ILTCHDJ).

Ross, Pettis, Gaines, Vea, Dissly, King, Jones, Budda, Gaskin, McGary, Rapp, and my guy Nick Harris have all had far more than a cup of coffee (which is what I would say Azeem, Bierria and Miller had - not sure Miller was even second string at that point though with Gardenhire and Joyner ahead of him). Basically all of them except Ross and Pettis have been three year starters at worst.
Definitely a strong list.
Am I missing anybody else from those two deeps? Murphy was redshirting. Was Sample the second team TE? I guess BBK was second team and has had more of a career than the two starting MLBs though still not a starter. Coleman and Browning were/are PS guys.
Zeke Turner has been on the Cardinals for 3 seasons, was hurt this year but is still signed and active. He was special teams MVP in 2016 and backup safety with pick in p12 championship.
Darrell Daniels as backup TE is still in the league and active
Good calls. The Cards have been good to that roster (and vice versa).
I know NFL success doesn’t necessarily equate college success but is it too doogish to say these teams should have been in the CFP 2016-18 and at least won the Pac-12 in 2019? Don’t think they could have ever won the whole thing but still.
Also, It may have simply been not having the right QB. Think if they had a Budda, Vita, Ross, Gaines, etc at QB

Those teams were stacked.
The 2016 team was absolutely a national championship level team with a good QB and a bit of luck.

This. All 3 TE’s are still in the league and they split time. Dissly and Sample mostly played together. Adams was a future pro before getting hurt too.

Wrong QB, but it would be remiss to not mention our offensive scheme was subpar.
