I have no real idea but my guess is Poles and co don't want to move Wright to left tackle. I just don't think they want to **** with the guy at this point in his career. He's looking good and he's improving and I don't think they want to mess with that. To my mind, he's staying at RT.
And I'm also guessing they wouldn't want to move Membou from RT either.

I would have to go back to the article to see how that was determined but as you can see the range is massive, doesn’t seem wise to put much weight into an average of 1-145. The variance is too large.
That also excluded those that didn’t return.
It also gives no information as to quality of play. Were they back ups? Bad players? Pro bowlers? Did they return to a different position? Did they start?
All the measured was did they play

Agree, just draft that pure LT at 10.

Who is that pure LT? This draft sucks for tackles, it's s really weak position group. I really want a LT myself, but not at the opportunity cost of Grant or Green for a group of guys that don't project to be impact players at LT, if they can even stick.

Well, you made it seem like it was a career ender. 145 games is a long time.

The range was 1 game to 145 games. Without the full article it’s hard to garner much info. What if 7 people played 1 game and then a few played 10 and then 1 person played 145 games, is a massive outlier, and skews the average.
Hard to say without the full article

You can say 1 person played 145 games after a similar injury.

I’m saying your premise is wrong that Simmons career is done because of his injury.

Nobody said that. The data doesn't favor a long career for him though which should be a pretty big concern at #10

My premise is that statistically speaking the odds are against him having a long healthy career. The article you posted supports this.
Is it possible he returns, is a good player, has a 10 year career? Yeah sure, it’s like 1 in a million.
I’m saying there’s a chance

Isn't he dropping like crazy? I thought I'd read NFL evaluators were almost universally seeing him as a guard.

He just got a visit scheduled to Atlanta who picks at 15. NFL.com’s latest mock has him at 11, Mike Tice who coached OL for years said he was a LT.

Or they think it's possible he falls enough to get him later for RT/G? Idk. But they have a LT signed through 28 and need pass rush desperately or anything on defense
