I just found it odd that Campbell is written off by some due to arm length, while Simmons' possibility of recovery from patella tendon surgery is a topic if discussion, while Simmons also has T-Rex arms.

His wingspan is 5 inches more than campbell’s but I think most people have written off Simmons, tbh. His tape was definitely better than Campbell, but the patella injury is brutal and will be extremely difficult for him to bounce back…and those character concerns are ugly too….i see him mocked and talked about as a late 1st guy and it was mentioned that some teams have him knocked down a full round because of the injury/character.

I’d love it. They’d get one of the few blue chip players in the draft at a position of need and they still address the trenches.
Doesn’t address the biggest need on OL.

Spends a top 10 pick on a position with a short shelf life that will have starters available in round 3 or later.

No trade down in any of the first 3 picks.

Sorry, barf.

Doesn’t hurt my feelings man no need to be sorry. I’d def like a trade down either at 10 or in the 2nd, but I kept it simple.

We can agree to disagree about #10

The interesting thing is who will be available at 39 and 41. There are so many players who will be “likely gone” by 39, but that probably means somebody has to drop. Kiper had us taking Walter Nolan at 39. I’d be thrilled if he was available.
Kiper is on drugs. Unless Nolen catches an arrest for a serious felony, there is no chance he drops to 39. I think he will go top-20.

I think he has a higher ceiling as a 3T over everyone in the draft, including Graham.

Kiper is most definitely on drugs but I’ve seen Nolan mocked by others in the 2nd too. It’s all over the place with him. Personally, I don’t think he makes it past 20-25 and could even go earlier.

This draft is all over the place. Seems all the picks from 15 to 50 are all interchangeable

1) Is Amegadjie injured right now? isn't he in an off-season conditioning program right now? Wasn't last season supposed to be a redshirt year so he could get healthy and compete for a starting job in 2025?

2) Aren't most rookie third round prospects considered a project to be developed? How many third-round trench players actually hit the ground running and offer serious competition to veteran starting in front of them?
Christian Mahogany did pretty well. and he was a 6th round pick

and a day one starter in year two, which puts him light years ahead of AmaBUSTjie
And how does that have anything to do with what you replied to?
  • Aren't most rookie third round prospects considered a project to be developed? - Mahogany is not a rookie anymore, so he doesn't apply to this statement. As a rookie, he was the very definition of a project to be developed.
  • How many third-round trench players actually hit the ground running and offer serious competition to veteran starting in front of them? - Mahogany didn't hit the ground running or challenge the starter as a rookie.
Wild that this needs to be explained to you.

The Beast is alive!


You have to admire the tremendous effort which is put into the Beast.
The new interactive feature is nice.
A few surprises at the top, Stewart at 9, Green at 10 but the blue chippers remain the same.

A+++ but it's totally unrealistic. If Graham is available at 10 you run to the podium, and it looks like Conerly is a lock for the first round, just a matter of where at this point.

Surprised it’s free right now. I imagine that’s corrected in the next couple of hours.
