Auburn defensive lineman Nick Fairley is ready announce whether he will return for his senior season or declare for the NFL draft.

A press conference will be held Friday at Fairley's high school in Mobile, Ala.

and what do you call our DTs?? can you even name them?

I would argue that a competent QB will be more beneficial than improved DT play in an either/or situation. I will also say that Fairley could have an immediate impact if we stay at #1, and that a QB at #1 from the pool available would help less than Fairley.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      Bryce had a hand in the Miami win but not nearly as large of one as Rico and he also had the extra burden of being a big reason we were in the hole in the first place. If we get a winning season he is definitely back for next year though.
