2027 Master List

Best of the Rest
Some thoughts.

-Overall numbers/spots: The offense takes 12 - QB, RBx2, WR/TEx4 - I know other threads have brought up the maybe Coleman, Jones and done at WR, but if they miss on Howard at TE, I don’t see them stopping with just 2 pass catchers with Gayles, Gregory, McAfee, Yancy options - OLx5 pending Simien/Starcevic. The defense takes 14 - DLx6, LBx3, DBx5. + LS is a class size of 27. Last year‘s class had 17 on O, 11 on D, and 2 ST for 30. 2 year totals of 29 on O, 25 on D, 3 ST for 57 or about 54% of a 105 man roster.

-Front 7 on D. O’Neil and Irvin currently with Vaughn and Folorunsho days away. Then get 5/9 of Parks, Muhammad, Fakatou, Sesay, Emedobi, Henderson, Igwebuike, Glover, Fox.

NT - Parks
DT - Folorunsho, Muhammad
DT/SDE - O’Neil, Fakatou
DE - Sesay, Vaughn
EDGE/OLB - Emedobi, Igwebuike, Fox
MLB/OLB - Irvin, Henderson, Glover

I can see with the size question I posted on the Parks profile where if Muhammad wants in, coaches take him, and maybe Fakatou is more valuable from a “best available” due to size and position flex than Parks and he loses his spot.

I also can see if they got 6 DL of Folo, Muhammad, Fakatou, O’Neil, Sesay, Vaughn but missed on Henderson - the LB board may include Emedobi and a spot comes to Emedobi/Fox if they close on Igwebuike and keep Irvin (Missouri is chasing him?)

This class, including Gayles but not Howard or the bottom 4, would be a 306 on the 247 calculator w only 24 commits. Lmao.

That’s WITH Monds and Vaughn at their current low 4 star composite scores and Coleman as a low 3 star. If you swamped Monds / Vaughn with guys ranked at 50 overall and Coleman with a fringe 4 star, that’s a 312.8 on 247, which would be the best class since 2024 UGA. Insane.

That class is pretty realistic and that is absolutely insane. I would feel like it missed out if they do not get at least one of those bottom 4 players you mentioned.
