This dude is worth a thread IMO.  I have watched a ton of games at this point and the Clemson defense without this guy would have be very average.  Amazing player and athlete.  Probably the best player in the draft.  Discuss...

He's certainly a great prospect, that's for sure.

But that Clemson defense would've certainly been a lot better than just average without him. They're loaded to the gills with four and five star recruits. They had the #3 scoring defense in the NCAA, #5 in yards. That wasn't due to just one guy.

Man...I know Clemson.  Future players will be great.  Current last year...young.  Simmons is different.  Without him they would have been very average.

A top 5 defense goes to middle of that pack due to losing one player? LOL! No.

He's a great prospect But he wasn't the difference between Clemson being ranked top 5 in D and Clemson being ranked in the 50s or 60s. That's absurd.

Brown, Wills, Wirfs, Okudah, Simmons

I want one of those guys and honestly, that's probably my order. But I don't even think we're going to look at OTs at #7 and I think that's a mistake. Okung is 31, coming off of a injury plagued season, and is in the last year of his contract. Moton is also in the last year of his contract. A lot of talk hinting at Little moving inside to OG.

With our lack of depth at DL you have to go DL.  A great DL can make linebackers and corners look good, not vice versa.  Clemsons DL is extremely well coached (and talented), and it made Simmons job a lot easier.  Put him behind our DL right now and it’s a waste

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
