This is really the argument for not taking a LT. Any DT you take at 31 is not necessarily an impact player because of the fit. You’d be stashing a DT to eventually take CJs spot. The nose type of DTs can be picked later.
The view on Simmons here is different from what I’m reading online and seeing in his workouts like his pro day where Simmons is showing that his rehab is on pace to get back to 100%. I don’t see anyone saying that Simmons is a 2nd rounder. Could yall be right and he’s damaged goods? absolutely. That just doesn’t seem to be being leaked to the press anywhere and he seemed to move well at his pro day.
We have another thread where there is a debate on who you have more confidence in Moore at LT or Kingsley at LG and it seems like most people are pretty nervous at both positions. Who’s the backup for Kingsley & Moore if either struggles? That 49ers offense does a lot to protect their LT with the running game and short passes. I feel like we are undervaluing competition and depth across the oline. We are thin.
