Losing a tight end like Kenyon Sadiq is absolutely a blow, no matter how you spin it. Oregon's tight end room had a 78.2 PFF receiving grade last year, and that production doesn't just get replaced by a freshman. Your recruiting class is strong, but claiming a five-star is "probably better" before a snap ignores how often top recruits need development. Purdue's faced this year for years, and it's why consistent playoff teams are so rare. The Ducks' system is good, but acting like it's an automatic conveyor belt to the NFL is ignoring the reality of player development. Every team loses stars, and reloading is never a guarantee.
