Medicals will big there but might be the type of chance for us to get a talent who is better than where he going to get drafted. Eagles did that with Dickerson. It's a dice roll but think he would be ready for training camp, and he's a top-15 talent no question. [Reply]

Tore his ACL. Rosenhaus is his agent and is saying that he will be ready to go by camp.
Praying him not being able to do anything at the combine or pro day helps his stock fall. He looked like a top LT at OSU. Have read a lot of people compare him to Christian Darrisaw.
It would take one of 63 or 66 to move up with the Steelers to get him. If they really like him that much it would be well worth it. [Reply]

Don't buy it, a lot of the OT's in this class have question marks even the ones that are thought as no brainer 1st rounders like Will Campbell, Simmons is going to elevate in stock when teams realize even with the injury he doesn't have the "ah fuck this guys arm length might make him a guard" questions. [Reply]
Yeah I gotta say this lines up to be one of those deals that Veach should be all over. I'm just getting into draft prospects and didn't know he had the injury.
It's the only way you get a talent like that from 31 (or in trade-up range). [Reply]

Yeah but those teams drafting way up high have a plethora of needs and are going to be less likely to take a big risk if they have a massive upgrade staring them in the face for other positions. [Reply]

Yea and that team picking 11 that thinks they can get the best OT in the draft is gonna jump at it. [Reply]
Unfortunately Geoff may be right about the 1st rd though. Weapons and DL seem to be the strength for BPA.
The amount of really good DL in this class is crazy. Would be really hard to pass on one of those guys or a weapon like TreVeyon Henderson, especially if the top LT prospects are gone
I think the Chiefs should draft a DT at 31 in a rich DT class. They should get a very good player here. They’ve invested draft picks in OL. Time for those guys to play
I get Geoff’s point. Kingsley and/or Morris need to be the starting RG (or Nourzad). Those picks need to see the field and develop.
My issue with moving Taylor is that he’s fine at RT. If he sucks at LT, then you hurt two positions. I don’t want to see a midseason move back to RT.
When Thuney is great at LG, leave him. When Taylor is fine at RT, leave him.
This season really made it apparent how bad things can go when you move guys around on the line when they’re already fine at their natural spot. [Reply]
