Look for Robinson to move back from 51 to make up for not having Simmons available this yr.
I don’t get it . Move back so we still have 6 picks ? Last year we only had 4. Depending on how things pan out , I almost rather move up to get a more quality guy and feel like we actually got a difference maker.

Theres still 7-8 Edge guys we could wait on, not much of a difference from them

I see us standing at 51 or moving back some. JR talked about getting calls for that pick already.
 
Football wise he reminds me of Fletcher Cox.

Also I trust JRob and Vrabel when it comes to character issues they don't do divas or bad apples they got my trust.
 
I don’t want to believe it but I just read with this injury he won’t be hundred percent till the 2021 season . I hope their projections are off but whatever , I’m gonna treat it like we didn’t have a pick , draft starts today.
Source? Players have ACL repairs all the time. There's no way it'll take until 2021 for Simmons to be 100% from this injury.
 
Who are the Miss State alums here again?

They must be real proud. Three guys taken in the first round and at least one more will go today.
 
low ball grade

got the 2nd highest graded player at 19, thats worthy at least a B since he wont play this yr

Draft grades?

Because 30 teams in the league got a player today that will help them in 2019 and beyond. The two teams that didn't were the Titans and the Browns. The Browns got Odell Beckham and the Titans got a guy who can't be adequately judged until 2020.

This is silly! You think every first round pick is gonna make a major impact as a rookie? DJones might sit behind Eli. Haskins will compete for a job but no guarantee he plays Year one. And that’s just an example.

2nd you automatically assume he won’t contribute at all? Why not just see what happens? Maybe he comes back and plays great

Lastly and most importantly...he isnt a free agent who’s here for one season. He’s a guy we are drafting to be a difference maker for a decade. You say you understand this but have ONLY focused your opinion on his value THIS season! Not a great way to build a team.
 
This game tape is great. Against Iowa too, a team that always has a good OL

I watched four games last night; Florida, Kentucky, Alabama, And Ole Miss.

Of those four, Kentucky was easily the best. They put him head-up on the center and the guy couldn’t handle Simmons’ quickness. He wasn’t dominant though. I’d say consistently disruptive.

Of the games I watched, I’d say the top-5 pick is a bit of hyperbole. He’s a good player. He only popped off the screen against Kentucky. He was solid in the others. His quickness and athleticism are obvious. He has prototypical size. He definitely plays hard and hustles. He plays too high and loses leverage to much.

I’ll probably do a full breakdown over the weekend and post it after the draft.
 
Even if you don’t consider the off the field issues and the injury, how does he fit our scheme at all? He’s 300 pound DT. He’s not going to be able to play Nose, guess he’ll play DE? Hating this pick more and more. The last time we drafted a D lineman that didn’t fit our scheme was Dudd and we all know what happened there.

I don’t think you e watched him play. He can play NT head up or 1 tech. He can play 3 tech and 5 Tech. He played all over the DL and was good everywhere. Why? Because he’s a strong player who can stack double teams and is hard to move even when doubled. And when singled up, he can win with power or quickness! What’s not to like?

I saw KY, AL and MS too (not FL). I think the Iowa tape is even more impressive than the KY tape. I also love that 4 down stand against Bama at the end.

He does play too high, though that is typical of guys 6'4" and over and is easily correctable for a guy with work ethic.

"Top 5 pick" is hard to gauge. I will say though the only other DL I watch whom I liked better was Quinnen William. I easily put Simmons over Oliver and Wilkins -- both of whom I also liked.

Simmons is also a guy who can be moved all over the line, which is very valuable with our scheme.
