    From what I hear. He's a guard. Best olineman. Not opposed but feel could do something else of need. Might be the best spot for a trade down. Next week the combine will help clarify as well as free agency. See what happens.

    Yeah that was a brain dead idea…with all of the key needs on this team (WR, Edge, LB, S) taking an IOL at 16 would be beyond stupid.

    Just resign either of AVT or Simpson.

    Agree it feels like sometimes these guys just throw shit out there without even taking two seconds to actually look at a team’s needs

    Mock drafts before free agency means nothing

    It’s a reach but I wouldn’t hate it. Reminds me of AJ Green

    Yeah, and some of these guys putting them out there are clueless…they clearly don’t look at the actual team making the pick and incorporate team needs into their mocks…it’s more like listing out the players in some kind of order of how they think they are rated.

    So yeah, kind of worthless if you’re trying to predict what will actually happen (as opposed to what that writer thinks should happen solely on his own player rankings or something like that).

    I do like, however, to see them all as it starts giving some kind of view on where players can be expected to go. Obviously they can and often are wrong and every year we have players who go higher or lower than expected, but it’s a nice general gauge.

    And it’s fun!

    I want Ty Simpson and he will not make it to 16. I also want Want Reese real bad. Think he will come in and play de mostly for us but by mid season he will be one of the better de in league. but since Simpson won’t make it to 16 we should or atleast I hope take him at 2OA. Then i would trade up from 16 to get lemon or Tate. As soon as one of those wr are off the board id start calling to inquire how much it would coast. I was thinking 16 plus 44 should get us to about 8th. Then with our 33rd pick id trade down to recoup the assets we used to trade up from 16 earlier. 33 is first pick in second round and there will be offers for it. We need a 1b wr to go along with the rook wb who should sit most of year and learn. So we will need a back up for a year. I say trade for Winston or cousins or Murray. Don’t like Murray attitude that much but he is a top 20 qb in this league. Also if we could get a draft pick to acquire him because of salary then I’d jump on that or they take some of cap hit so it’s cheaper and we give a late round draft for him. If he does well we could trade him next offseason because I think he has 2 years remaining on his deal .But Ty Simpson will be a good one just need him to learn for a bit especially now we got a real oc and qb coach.

    Simpson at 2 is an incredible reach, most draft pundits have him late first at best, maybe early second. I really hope we don't do it, 0% chance we take another one in 27.
