Or....

This injury could be being over-dramatized in order for him to slide to a team further back that wants to pick him. If you watched the injury there was nothing dramatic that caused it to happen.

He is showing a lot of improvement already and it's being downplayed based on Twitter doctors/experts saying it's catastrophic. They could just as likely be wrong
Wouldn't saying it is catastrophic be the opposite of downplaying it?

You're suggesting several people - presumably from different organizations - are pretending there is a serious injury that doesn't really exist so Simmons can fall to one (unnamed) team? And you're basing it on how it looked to you on the game film?

People are actually going to waste time watching teenagers walk across a stage all night instead of just checking twitter later? Holy losers.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks

Hate the trend I am seeing on these late mocks. 3 tackles in top 7. Warren to Bears.
Interesting…

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

One of the reasons Liam Coen reversed course and took the Jaguars job is because of the opportunity he’d have to pick his own GM and help shape the football operation—and I think, as such, his fingerprints will be all over this pick. The one thing that gives me pause with Jeanty this high is the presence of analytics in the organization, which could nudge Coen and GM James Gladstone toward Tetairoa McMillan, a bigger receiver with parallels to what Coen won with in Tampa and Trevor Lawrence won with at Clemson.

All these morons keep mocking banks to LV to replace Kolton Miller. Idk why LV (with a lot of cap space) would let their best OL walk next year. I don't buy banks to LV at all. I think it is membou, tet or walker
I think the thought is Banks can play RT or guard also while they iron out the OL. He’s a high character and high floor choice. Miller isn’t going anywhere.

Membou is a better option at RT or G though. They are playing off Carroll and Sarkisian connection which would be dumb of the Raiders to value Sarkisians word over their actual scouting reports

As it should be.

As a fan, I want my GM to have confidence in his/his staff's evaluations and conviction in his picks. I want him to have zero concerns over fan perception when making his pick.

I don't really care about his confidence/conviction. I prefer him to be right.

Actually conviction can lead to trading up for a bust or passing up a guy who dropped because you're convinced your guy is the guy. I prefer a guy who understands that even the best best talent evaluators are wrong a lot and this keeps an open mind, looks at every angle.

Honestly if these guys have a lot of confidence in their picks they're stupid. It's like having confidence in rolling dice.
