The Simpson hype is just something I can't wrap my head around. I can't see drafting a guy in the 1st whose absolute ceiling looks to be Kirk Cousins. 

Thats just Jeremiah pumping the thought that the Rams will take him in the 1st round. He also has him ranked as a late second round prospect. DJ is the only mock that predicts him a day 1 pick.

I'd be surprised if the Rams were all that interested in him. I mean, they moved on from Goff pretty quickly because they saw that his physical ceiling was limited. I just don't see plus NFL tools with Simpson. He's just NFL average Joe across the board IMO.

I'm not sure what his thinking is behind that either. I'm sure the Rams can do better than Simpson as a future successor to Stafford.

There's already been 7 DTs go sub-5.0. 4.76 leading the pack. Pretty wild.

The way some of these big guys burst of the line is nuts. I know they are in shorts but this looks like a special DT class.

Big guys with a history of foot injuries give me a lot of pause. They have a bad track record of reoccurring and he already has a history of reoccurring foot injuries.

Ohh, didn't know that was a thing with Banks. Hmmmm.....yeah, I'd be nervous about that too.

The 10 yard split is what you want to look at for DL. That first 10 yards is where they earn their money.

I could see the Jets snagging him with their second FRP. Take Reese/Downs/Mauioga at 2 and then come back for Simpson at 16. 

Doesn't help us gain any future picks, but will push someone talented to us at 19.

Saw where some are predicting three WRs in the top 12 picks. That would bode well for us. I could see us picking a slot guy in the mid to late rounds but I doubt we're looking at receivers until day three.
