I mean, I don't even think it's arguable. Conerly alone is a better prospect than guys like Guyton, Kingsley, etc. Just go look at his tape against some of the better pass rushers in the draft.
Simmons is a top 15-20 talent that would only be available due to injury. He's by far the best T we could even dream of being available.
Ersery is more in line with what's usually available, and he'd still arguably be the best, and he's probably 3rd in that range this year.
It's a weird year. There aren't a lot of LTs at the top of the draft, but there should at least be more legitimate options than usual at the end of the 1st. That doesn't mean any of these guys are sure fire day 1 starters at LT, except for Simmons if he's healthy, but they're just better prospects in general.
I'm not saying that makes the draft the best option, I'm not even saying it's ideal, but its definitely a better option than it is most years.

Yeah - I don't buy this even a little bit.
Ersery is a standard mid-late 2nd prospect. Conerly is marginally better than Kingsley.
Simmons is a COMPLETE unknown because his damn knee exploded. If his medicals check out he'll be gone well before we draft.
No, I don't think that's the case at all. Someone like Harrison was a far better prospect than Conerly and didn't make it to us. The fact that he isn't good now demonstrates how bad a gamble back of the 1st round OTs are.
There's zero reason to be targeting OT in this draft. It's a horrible play.
