I would guess that Haywood is the top target on the board. If we`re fortunate enough to land him, are we done on the O line or are there other targets? Just have trouble keeping up.

We already have 4 OL in this class. Of course, we want Haywood, like every other team in the country.
But other than that we are done. We won’t have enough spots to keep more players.
Our expected losses next year:
- Booker (100%)
- Brailsford (likely?)
- Roberts (100%)
- VanDeMark (maybe?)
- someone to transfer portal, possibly Pritchett

Thus, no more OL spots might be available.

From what I understand it was only the plan to take 3 or 4 linemen this year but they ended up getting more interest than expected so we are taking at least 5 if we land haywood. May a 6th if its the right guy, Goodman maybe?

As you noted we should be pretty good an numbers next year barring unforseen transfers.

I do expect booker and very likley Robert van be nfl bound. Brailsford is a strong maybe. The plan for Van demark was to start in 2025 so he will stay. Key backup this year inside and slide into one of the 2 or 3 open spots after that.

we're still kinda thin on OL depth so I think taking 5 this cycle is a good thing if we can get the right guys on the bus, especially with some NFL and portal attrition expected after the 24 season.
