Personally, I’d prefer to trade Trey Smith if we can get decent value for him. It doesn’t seem wise to make smith the highest paid guard. I realize that would leave a lot of holes on the oline but there are several good tackles that project as guards and good guards as well. If veach can locate and draft a good guard in say the 3rd round to compete for a starting spot, I’d go for trading smith.

Trading one of the best guards in the league to move up a couple spots in the draft in order to take Harmon when DL is easily the deepest position in this draft seems bad, OP

Could also look at Wanya for RG.

They could draft a guard Emory Jones Ohio State who moved out to tackle when Simmons got hurt or Wyatt Milum West Virginia in the 2nd or 3rd round Morris is right tackle.

I believe Donovan Jackson moved out to LT when Simmons got hurt. Jones stayed at RT for his entire OSU career I believe.

As for Milum, I think folks are sleeping on him. I really struggle to see why he shouldn't be considered a top 50 prospect. He's a really good football player. If we skip OT in the 1st round, I wouldn't mind seeing him in the 2nd at all. I'd be really surprised if he's not a long term starter SOMEWHERE on the OL.

Oops thanks for the assist.

I actually ran the simulator with the Vikings trade with us giving up 31 along with a 3rd next year....I got Derrick Harmon in the first....Kaleb Johnson in the 2nd....and Wilum was available at 67 but wasn't the best O Lineman left at that point. Is that why you believe people are sleeping on him?

Yes.

I really don't see any reason he should make it out of the 2nd round. He's a turnkey asset at OG and that's if he's not a pretty decent RT in his own right.

I'd damn skippy take him over Kaleb Johnson, that's for sure.

I picked Kaleb Johnson because he was the best available in the Simulator....plus we had the pick 66 which i knew based on Milum's ranking he would still be there.

Your scenario in the follow up post sounds interesting....and I am for sure not in the Josh Simmons camp....too much to lose considering what happened to his knee.
