There just wasn't much depth behind Jamaal in 2016. Kalani has successfully built up depth at every offensive position group since 2016 and it's not close.

On top of that, a guy I'm very curious to witness: Nasilai.

I see him backing up Masen Wake

I think that's right. I think his athletic upside is higher, though.

Yea, williams sure is worse than anyone in the 2021 group. right.

Squally and Algie were both pretty good

Neither looked great in 2016

Algie looked pretty good in 2015. We assumed he would be good in 2016 like we're

Algie switched positions to fullback in the offseason

The OL is kinda a big deal, I really liked Brown

W/ Allgeier's meteoric rise I think it's fair to put him right up there w Jamaal

It's tough to conpare. The o-line in 2016 was awful and Jamaal was still

I tend to think that two things occured last year for his meteoric rise

Those things can't be ignored. We shall see how he translates.

Yes, but they are 4 scholarships short in other areas. It is always a balancing

What position group is short on scholarships?

I actually think depth was better in that 2016 group

Not really

"Measurables to be good starters" is so speculative

Squally wasn’t proven prior to the 2016 season. He had a few carries (or one?)

D.T. Survivor

That's not the question, though

Brown averaged 2.7 yards per carry and was converted to fullback

Kalani's recruiting philosophies & methods are very diff than Bronco's.

How do you justify putting Miles in tier 2 and Ropati in tier 3

It's clearly a priority for Roderick to get Miles more touches
