Hurney playing 7D chess

Our defense was trash with Luke last season ..

So even if Simmons is immediately as good as Luke .. our defense could still be trash.

We won't go defense at #7 .. Rivera is not our HC anymore.

Well even though I realize the whole premise of this thread is tongue-in-cheek, if we've decided we don't want to pick a tackle at 7, it actually would make a lot of sense that the fact this trade increases the likelihood that the Chargers would pick an OT at 6 may have been considered, at least very loosely. There seem to be a consensus 4-5 or so super elite prospects in the draft. We shouldn't discount anything that bumps our odds of landing one of those at 7.

WHUT HAPPEN'D WUZ:

Odd that the Panthers and Chargers have been talking--wonder what about?

WHAT IF:  The Chargers want Cam and Cam wants Turner at RG and a solid OL.  Tepper has been flaunting the idea of dismantling the OL since "committing" to Cam.    The Chargers will then take a LT in the draft.  Cam goes to LAC once he is proven to be healthy.

Now LAC has the star power in LA, a solid OL to protect him (one geared toward the run) and the Panthers have $19m in cap room and the ability to create $13m more by 2021 or sooner. 

So now the Panthers have eliminated one team looking for a QB in front of them-taking a T--a position we will (now) not  be drafting in the first round.  If there are five teams picking ahead of the Panthers and 4 QBs that could go that early...

Tua will not be able to play in 2020, and not many GMs want to lose for a season before they see  results. So it is possible that Tua falls.  If he does not, Herbert could.  What could Brady do with Herbert?

And Simmons--not Young--is the best football player in this draft.  They could want him badly.  Imagine a player who not only stays on the field for 3 downs, but he can play ILB, OLB, S, and nickel.  Who does that?  If you draft a LB and keep him on the field in nickel packages, it is like getting 2 players-1 roster spot.

I am done.

Simmons is an outside linebacker. In the top 10? Pass.

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

Simmons played almost every defensive position at Clemson. OLB is just the label that stuck.

Can he play LT, though?

Waffle House can fatten him up. Let's do it.
