No problem. I don’t always make the most sense.

I did. I don't think Simms has enough lineman graded in the 1st though and I absolutely think Slater gets his shot at LT first whereas Simms doesn't.

Slater, if he can add some weight, had the potential to be Jason Peters.

I think Sam Cosmi is an absolute lock in the 1st and I think he goes before 25.

I think Spencer Brown is definitely a fringe 1 guy, whether a team looks at him as a LT or a RT.

Cosmi and Brown have insane athletic profiles and good tape as pass blockers. Teams will gamble on those traits more often than not and there are a lot of teams that need tackles.

This regardless of whether or not I think they are a top 32 player. Positional need and traits trump many of things.

Then why would you be ok with taking a LT round 1? Reaching at 31 is not smart when one of these LTs will be available in the 2nd, maybe the third. I can’t understand the panic to take a project LT in round one that won’t be better than an experienced free agent in year 1.

Protecting Patrick is priority 1 and replacing Sammy is 2 in my opinion. I still say Jenkins by some sort of Veach magic trick and I don't know enough about the receivers to make a call.

I was kind of buying into the Walker Little hype, be he gets abused pretty bad in this game vs Notre Dame. Every offensive snap is in this one with Little being highlighted. Not the best, IMO.

None of the tackles available at 31 can protect mahomes day 1. You still need a stop gap.

Just spitballing but I'm guessing this is the direction where Veach goes.

I’m literally 5 minutes in and I’ve yet to see him get “abused”.

Keep watching

Oh wow... that’s bad. Really bad. How many sacks did he give up? Like 3 or 4? And he’s not physical in the run game either.

Spencer brown looks interesting here...

I'll take an awesome WR over a tackle that needs development every day of the week

Like I said I'm just spit balling but Patrick isn't going to be able to toss the rock when constantly running for his life.

I'll buy ya a beer next time I'm in LA if it isn't Jenkins. :thumb:
