Last season's signings of Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos did not yield the expected results, prompting general manager John Lynch to potentially look towards the draft, where projections suggest Tennessee's James Pearce Jr.
as a promising prospect due to his notable collegiate performance and impressive combine results.
