DJ Giddens is a RB prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.89 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 22 out of 1909 RB from 1987 to 2025.
Dont'e Thornton is a WR prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.80 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 69 out of 3408 WR from 1987 to 2025.
Brugler's 8th safety:
A three-year starter at Ohio State, Ransom lined up primarily as a free safety (post, two-high, man-to-man versus tight ends) in defensive coordinator Jim Knowles' hybrid 4-2-5 scheme. His role evolved over his time in Columbus, and his late-season injury in 2023 (which forced him to return for a fifth year) was a blessing in disguise, both because of his individual improvements and his role in helping Ohio State win the national championship.
Because of his range, Ransom is at his best making noise in the run game with read-and-drive quickness and high-speed collision tackles — he creates bug-meet-windshield hits from different angles. Like any safety who plays fast and physical, you can expect him to have the occasional missed tackle or overaggressive coverage angle, although those negative plays decreased with each season he spent in college. Overall, Ransom might not have the coverage anticipation to be a true ball hawk, but he sees the field well to key quickly, run the alley and stay on top of everything. If he stays healthy, he has the run-defending range and matchup potential against tight ends to become an NFL starter.

Giddens looks like he has some Mitchell like potential, but hopefully with better health if we select him

Get Mbow. He will be our Zach Tom.
This, but also to add Jordan James and honestly, Shedeur Sanders, Kyle wouldn't give two fs telling the media that he's a break glass in case of emergency, that we might be able to flip for a higher pick in the future.
Deion would probably be on board as well, as he'd know that every QB playing for Kyle goes on to be wanted.
He could play one game as a backup and then we could flip him for a 1st.
