What changed
Upgraded
Projected starters arrived with rating holding or rising in 8 rooms, led by QB.
Depth concern
More players out than in with no two-deep answer — depth, not the starting line, is the exposure.
Still unresolved
Departures with no portal answer yet. Replacement must come from the returning roster or signing class.
