Solid read.
I got to meet Brice Butler his first year at USC and followed him after even when he transferred to San Diego State as a graduate transfer. I'm excited about his impact on the team for exactly the same reasons the writer mentioned.
I also think Irving was a steal and love that he can play almost anywhere on the defensive line.
Russell is limited to me. I don't feel he'll be more than a rotational guy who can spell your starters for a few downs. Not excited about him at all.
Wilson seems athletic but also feels like Hitchens, where he's solid enough to play but not really good enough to have an impact. Jury is still out on him for me. If nothing else, he's a solid special teamer and depth guy.
Whitehead seems like a JAG. There's a bunch of guys in the league like him, many that offer more playmaking ability.
