Somebody better separate themselves between Cook, Jackson, Bynum and Richmond.
Not sure exactly what you mean. You need a rotation and Johnson, along with these guys gives you some depth.
I'm OK with some depth. If you had limited playing time at DE, I'd think about Richmond to LB where he was a best in HS.
Depth is useless if they can't pressure the QB. It was Reed or bust last year getting after the QB. Non existent without him.
Yes, but we said the same thing the year before when we lost Rivers and Moss! Guys can step up. Cook* was our highest rated recruit in long time and we haven't seen what he can do yet. Besides, that is why I'm advocating moving Richmond to LB, and send him as an "edge rusher," to get added pressure on the QB.
*VanGorde, Hawkins and Reed where all more highly rated than Cook, coming out, but weren't our signings.
