And possibly in our DLine itself:

"plus highly regarded players (Shittu, Watkins, Kaumatule, and Nwafor) to step into the void. "

Of that group, Shittu and Nwafor have drawn comment for their disappearance.  Nwafor was injured, Shittu played and did not distinguish himself as a future star based on his play.  Watkins is never mentioned in the mix. Dunno why.  Only Kaumatule elicited any real optimism, but maybe that was just hope.  Hard to know, the only way we get to know and the only way they get a fair test is to play regularly.  But they might come up short in a fair test.  We have definitely been spoiled by the last three years.
