A reminder that we are loosing two of our most experienced defensive linemen, and with them, any semblance of depth at the defensive line.
Other positions, I agree have nowhere to go but up.

I wish you hadn't reminded me. Reactive instead of proactive recruiting means taking 2 DL in 2 years ('18 and '19) has totally gutted the position. It would've made a bit more sense had we not had 3 seniors leave. You simply can't rely on 5th year seniors to stay anymore, ESPECIALLY if they wouldn't be starting.
The same will happen at OLB in 2 years and safety and TE next year. It's not hard to see holes ahead of time, staff. It's really not.
Sad.
