Simmons will be off the board.

Brown will be by far the bpa and also fills a huge need.

 

Best possible scenerio 

If Okudah is still there I would take him, but honestly I would be fine with Derrick Brown as the pick too.

Yeah it's Brown.

Burrow, Young, Okudah, Tua, Simmons all off the board when we pick.

Need + Talent + Value all line up here.

Unless someone falls in love with Herbert or Love and offers us alot, then it's Brown.

Wilfs would be better if he is there but that sadly isn't happening. Plenty of DTs later in the draft that fill our needs.

I will be interesting to see what direction they go in and if the new staff believes he is better than other options. It's about time to peek behind the curtain and stop talking about what we think these guys will do. If it's a QB I will laugh my butt off.

Gettleman is the wildcard.  The Giants need help about everywhere like us.  The Lions are about as close to a shoo-in for Okudah as there could be, leaving the Giants going with OT, DT or LB.  An OT or Simmons have been the hot commodities of late, but some people are still mocking Brown to the G-men.  If Brown gets past the Giants and they drafted Simmons, then yes, Brown is unquestionably the pick.

What if...

1. CIN-Burrow

2. Skins-Young

3. Lions-Simmons

4. LAC (from NYG)-Tua

5. MIA-Herbert

6. NYG (from LAC)-Wirfs

7. You have to go Okudah right?

Yes, but will that happen though?  Pretty far fetched that the Lions who are completely depleted at corner intentionally skips out on the top guy at the position in the draft.  Okudah and Simmons grade out similarly, so it's not a BPA scenario for Simmons.  The Lions would have to really like Simmons more than Okudah is what that boils down to.

Got to go with you this one...there are just as good....not better...but good DT's that can team with KK and give us a good run stopping line and also decent pass rushers up the middle.  They think you need a "SUPERSTAR!"  Tell how many Superbowls Ndamukong Suh won?

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
