Hurney playing 7D chess

[Jeremy Igo]

Relieving the Chargers of their OT makes their need to draft an OT that much higher. They are one pick before the Panthers, thus dropping Simmons to us

Anyone who thinks they were targeting Simmons hasnt been keeping up with predraft stuff.

 

They were a lock to draft

1. A OT: because how bad Okung and the OL is

2. A QB

They were never considering Simmons.

Everyone in the top 10 is considering Simmons

I’d rather take a chance on the top OT, but yea Hurney always proving people wrong (?).

Now if he’s cut June 1 just to save more than we would have by just cutting trai I will be impressed.

Trai is unmotivated here and got man handled last year...not mad we moved on

And everyone is considering 

Tua

Herbert 

Okudah 

Wills

Thomas

Becton

Young

Brown

Etc.

 

Chargers have Major need at OT and QB even prior to the Okung trade

Thus why evry mock by every analyst has them going OT or QB.

Thus why all of the talking heads and writers have been hearing throughout seniorbowl, combine etc

Simmons is certainly an intriguing prospect, but we kind of need some semblance of a real NFL secondary in the NFCS.

[Mr. Scot]

Predicting draft picks before seeing how free agency plays out is a lot like planning where to step in a minefield before the mines have been buried.

[Panther'sBigD]

Maybe this wasn't Hurney's call at all...

[Tbe]

I really hope Little develops this year or we’ll need a LT and QB next year.

Considering =/= Targeting. 

 

[Shocker]

Its actually about 6 layers deeper.  I am surprised everyone can't see it clearly like me.

I view Simmons as a more athletic version of Shaq - and I really like Shaq.  Drafting him would get me really excited about our LB's again.. That being said even Luke looked mediocre last year because the D line could not block for him. 

IMO - We need to fix the line in FA or the draft before we consider a LB.
