I went back and looked at the 100 prospects I liked for this draft, and we have 6 of them in-house from this draft and the UDFA group.
OT Josh Simmons
DT Omarr Norman-Lott
DE Ashton Gillotte
WR Jalen Royals
LB Jeffrey Bassa
WR Elijhah Badger
100 players cover a lot of ground, but nonetheless, I liked them.
My major complaint on the Simmons pick isn't that I didn't like him, it's with taking such an enormous risk in the 1st round. I felt like trading up a few slots for Conerly was much safer, and I also felt like Conerly was the better pass blocker. Taking a risk on Simmons was something I thought you saved for the 3rd round or later. I remain convinced that Veach overshot on that one. I don't think teams felt comfortable with that injury, and he would have slid much further. It is what it is at this point, though,h and the only thing there is to cling to is hope on that one.
I'm happy overall. I hope I eat shit on Simmons and his draft slot, we kind of need me to.
