If Simmons gives us 5 years of solid LT play on his rookie contract and plays well enough to earn a second contract, we won the draft. It literally doesn’t matter what we get from the rest of the picks at that point. That pick alone, where it was made, with the positional importance relative to our style of play means the draft was a win, overall.
The exciting part of this draft is that every single guy we drafted has a REAL chance to be a special player.
Simmons could absolutely end up “Silverback V2”
Lott could end up Warren Sapp
Gillotte could end up Hendrickson/Justin Smith
Williams could end up Marcus Peters without the BS
Royals could end up Stefon Diggs. Similar style and Royals is just a little bigger.
Bassa could end up Fred Warner (same size, converted safety)
Smith could end up Darren Sproles or maybe even Kamara.
Obviously those are perfect case upside comparisons…but each one has a chance of realizing that upside in this system.
