3 counterpoints, if I may:
1) Regardless of position except for QB, you cannot ever have too much talent. And while our roster is incredibly improved from when Heupel took over - to the point that IMO we are legit annual CFP contenders for the forseeable future - we still need more talent.
2) IMO we are not anywhere near the top of the list for Waller or Stewart and we aren't really on Houston's radar (he's continually mentioned but hasn't visited in 2023 and has no scheduled plans to do so). Not sure on Danny Okoye, his recruitment is quiet. I like Lindstrom and think we're in the mix there. But the long list above of guys outside of Ross and Fountain - the latter of whom IMO projects more as an inside guy/SDE rather than a pure Edge - isn't realistically that long.
3) Finally, if there is an any spot where we DO have the luxury of developing someone whose ceiling is reported to be that of a Day 1 NFL pick (my multiple 247 analysts) it's Edge. We've got Pearce, Josephs, Herring and Bradley from the last two classes - all four of them have immense talent and multiple years of eligibility left. So, especially if you assume we're going to sign a couple of other Edge guys in this 2024 class along with Okoye, he can take his time developing into a monster while the position is well taken care of.
