If I were Hurney, both Ferguson and Simmons are on my mind

[top dawg]

We've already discussed Jeffery Simmons weeks ago, and some are just going to disagree on whether he should be on our draft board. Sure he may have went a little overboard with the repeated hitting of the woman attacking his sister, but...adrenaline...poo happens! That being said, his injury would give me more pause to pull the trigger on him during day two, but by day three, if not round three, it would be a wrap (in black and electric blue).

The other player that I would strongly consider in running up to the podium in the second round is Jaylon Ferguson. He has pretty much been a model citizen since his freshman year McDonald's altercation. If we somehow land, umm, let's say...Jonah Williams in the first, or even if we were lucky enough to land Sweat or Ferrell, I wouldn't be upset at all if Hurney would take Ferguson in the second.

Both these players have great potential to make an impact once they put on pro uniforms, and in.my opinion would be great value picks outside of day one.

Lol wur. How bout we just draft players with no issues

I think Hurney and Rivera need to win now. I don't think they have the luxury of spending a high pick on a guy who needs a redshirt year.

Somebody is going to get a steal with Simmons.

I'm not sold on Ferguson but I don't think he is going to line up with our draft picks anyway.  I feel like 16 is too early, and 47 will be too late.

Ferguson from what all ive read, he's most suited as a traditional 4-3 DE.  And watching him at the senior bowl I see it.

Simmons was a beast but with him just tearing his ACL, id be nervous with picking him at 16

Honestly, this isn't about either one of them at 16. It's about day two and three (and probably really day two in the second round). The only reason that I even mention day three is in consideration of Simmons' injury.

Run to the podium if Simmons is there in the 2nd, there’s your kk short replacement next year, don’t care if we’re in win now mode you don’t pass up a top 5 talent in the 2nd

That's what I'm thinking. If you can't win simply because you used a second round pick on a first round talent that had to be "red shirted" his rookie year, then you're likely done anyway. It can show an owner that you are still thinking about the long term health of the franchise by making the "smart" move despite the potentiality of being canned, and that may just compel them to give you another chance.
