i don’t think they are going to be amazing but i also think we are stuck evaluating DTs relative to generationally great ones.

we can be a solid top 15 defense without having Mason Graham and Grant types.

Also we have really good edges (with an high ceiling) and a potentially great secondary.

(i’m still a bit worried on LB tho)

Talk me down from my worries about the interior DL. Really concerned about DTs, especially the depth.* - By VictorsValiant August 24, 2026 at 08:15:18 PM
- If they can stand up to blocks and hold up against the run, that’s just fine with me. … - By Ian August 24, 2026 at 10:17:41 PM

- Pierce was really solid last year and was limited by injury. Enna is a freak athlete who had to grow into the big frame. Palepale is Polynesian and has NFL genes. Out of a million other dudes, someone will be able to provide backup depth.* - By Bluebuck August 24, 2026 at 08:26:05 PM
- Pierce seems likely to be an above average to really good Big Ten starting DT - By DoctorD August 24, 2026 at 08:23:15 PM
  - Havent heard much on Moten, but he's obviously large enough to be serviceable. We'll see if he can break in and contribute any meaningful snaps* - By ameriKa August 25, 2026 at 06:15:19 AM
