If they're both there it really shouldn't be. Brown all day everyday. Simmons would just be fighting blockers all game long with our current DT situation. LB just doesn't really matter unless you have guys in front of them to keep blockers off of them. Just see Luke and Bobby Wagner last year. Easily the two best MLBs in the game, but they were both on two of the worst defenses in the league because their DLs were trash.

Coverage/field general type LBs are devalued in today's NFL. We need to wake up and realize that and stop throwing so many resources at the position. We gave Shaq a big money contract, gotta look elsewhere at #7. One big money deal plus a #7 overall pick is just too much investment at the position, especially when our trenches are a disaster on both sides of the ball and there will almost certainly be some very good options to address that at #7.

I agree, but players like Simmons are hard to find and there are a bunch of quality DT's in free agency. Drafting Simmons and signing Javon Hargrave and Leonard Williams would fix the issue.

And there are a couple real good DT’s like Madibuke  or Blacklock that could be there in RD 2.

This draft is really falling into the team's favor.

Highly likely 3 QBs go #1 - #6, possibly 4. Defense needs a booster shot, and Simmons/Brown/Okudah can do that. If DET & NYG both go defense (I'm expecting Jedrick Wills Jr to go to NYG but wouldn't be surprised to see them go after Simmons or Okudah), we still get whomever wasn't picked. Worst case scenario and all 3 are gone? Oh hai Javon Kinlaw

In this case Id teleport to commish and take Young, seems you forget him! 3 QBs(i agree Love maybe here too) and Young are a near lock to be picked before 7. That leaves a guaranteed one form Simmons/Brown/Okudah, hot dam gimme THAT! Even if thats not your flavor, you can either pick the first OT/WR in the whole draft. 7 is a GREAT spot. I feel theres very little difference form 4-12, talent wise . The top 3 OT and top 3 WR are very close, imo.

If that happens I'm not taking him at 7. I would just take Jeudy.

Did not interview a QB.  And only 1 OT.  

If the pick is Brown or Jeudy I’m good.

Some are listing the OT as a G---

I told folks that Marty aint admitting guilt and drafting a T---I heard that RR had to talk him into drafting Cam (I heard he liked someone like Dareus) the year after Jimmy C stormed the league.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
