Big names will probably come off the board quickly. A bit difficult with a new coaching staff, but we're hardly unique in this situation and Tosh is actively participating in it despite his playoff obligations.
WRs as a category aren't expensive but TOP WRs are. I'm sure we'll be VERY generous in our offer to Ian Strong in hopes of keeping JKS happy.
EDGE is somewhat similar to WR on the defensive side. I'm not sure how to assess our needs on defense but I'm glad we already brought in someone.
We REALLY need to get some OTs, though. Not sure if we have the ability or desire to overspend on elite talent. This position stresses me out for obvious reasons.

So we're locking in some key positions early. WR, OT, EDGE.

Landed Arop!
CJ2K’s son who had a good game against Cal is in the portal now (SMU RB)
OTs are such a limited commodity. Glad to get Arop! CJJ is blazing fast. No idea what the mutual interest is, but he's at least been to the facility.

With WR Ian Strong vs. Notre Dame, besides the $$$$ , I think we can get him with just one name - JKS! Enough said.
Big get with Sttong!
