Your TE section fails to even mention Endries. Seems like a big gap in your analysis
As for your DT section, you emphasize age a lot, but you fail to mention Baker as DT coach. Returns are early but Collins and Broughton borth did jack shit until Baker got here and developed them. There’s a non zero chance Baker is really good, and can get more out of our older transfers than you might expect, plus young player development better than expected. Broughton sucked until his literal last year, and collins was inconsistent, so it’s not like they weren’t old and strong enough their junior years. It was teaching.
Baxter was a true Freshman, and he struggled early in the season. We all saw it. But he noticeably improved as the year went on, which is all you really want to see from a true freshman. You might be selling him short here. By the end of the season he was looking every bit the five star.
