This is the one position I envy Washington's recruiting.
You wouldn't trade OL and WR rooms (not commits) with us?
Oregon still has a very strong OL group. I'm not worried much at all with this group.
The WR position isn't great, but Oregon does have Micah Pittman, Jaylon Redd showed a lot of improvement last year, and Johnny Johnson returning. Oregon also has the Devon Williams transfer from USC. He couldn't break into the first team there, but few could given how stellar that group was and still is. This is by far Oregon's weakest position, and I am jealous about the UW WR room. I'm no longer envious with the recruiting, because Oregon's new receiver coach is one of the best recruiters in the country, and it is on display already. This group is going to look a lot different in a year or so.

fair
I should also add, I'm not that fired up about Oregon's RB recruiting either. Campbell was able to year after year recruit what seemed to be a top 10 running back. This staff isn't there yet.

Draco seems the most obvious guess but just a guess.
That would bum me out. He always seemed like a guy that would take a few years to develop but had high upside. And given how wonky our recruiting classes have been from a numbers standpoint we now will only have Taimani and Letuligasenoa as 3rd year guys, either of which could leave early for the NFL if they have a big season this year.

"Late last month, on the heels of an offer from Stanford, I put in a low confidence Crystal Ball for Tumwater (Wash.) defensive tackle Jacob Schuster and put it on the Cardinal.
A month later, there is a little more buzz trending towards the in-state Huskies, so I've switched my Crystal Ball to the Huskies, but keeping it on low confidence.
Schuster raved about the offer from the Cardinal and for the 4.0 student, it was a big one for him, but we've heard in recent days that Washington is making a bigger push for him and trying to keep him in-state.
We know that Cal and Washington State are also trying hard with him, but the Huskies also are the closest to home, have had some success with Tumwater and are also targeting a younger teammate of Schuster (Ryan Otton).
So it's enough for us to trend off Stanford and to the Huskies, but not high just yet."

Nose Tackles don’t typically leave for the draft super early historically.
That one class had like 5 defensive linemen. Whichever one or two falls behind is likely to leave. It's why I'm fine taking a 3rd DT in this class, and why I think we should still take a 2nd ILB in this class even though we took a bunch last year

We already lose Levi and Bronson. Tuli may enter the draft after the season which would leave Taki, Tui, Bandes, Panama, Ngalu, and Bynum.
I find it hard to believe that a guy who has barely played is going to start one season and leave, but what do I know?
Meh, I side with Joey for once.
Someone else said DL typically don’t go from nothing to great to gone. Via & Gaines are the only two I can think of. Each had a build up and then good/great season.

Oregon has yet to peak.
