Not necessarily the end-all-be-all evaluator either though and I respect Brugler as much as anyone.
He's the 13th prospect on ESPN's board with Simmons at 10th and them being the top two OL prospects.
Zeurlein has him with a higher rank than Simmons.
Shit is all over the place.
All I know is this, way back when Andy Reid said "I want two offensive tackles, a quarterback, two pass rushers, two corners, and I'll figure the rest out."
Well.... we have a Mahomes at QB, two pass rushers (Karlaftis and Jones), two corners (Watson and MCDuffie) and a passable RT in Taylor.
Reid will be fully up Veach's ass to get this done.
I fully expect the options to be:
1. Alaric Jackson
2. Ronnie Stanley
3. Re-sign DJ Humphries
4. Dan Moore Jr
If not 1 or 2 then I think we will try to draft another OT.
I expect Simmons to be a top-10 pick. He's the best OT in this draft and the only absolute guy at the position in this draft. I could be off base with that projection because of his injury but I've seen shit happen. I mean, you better be IN IN if you're going up to get this guy because it's going to cost a fortune.
I do not think that Will Campbell will be seen as an OT. He has TRex arms. There are serious concerns he will come in well under 33".
Banks and Conerly aren't too dissimilar although I see more chatter about Banks at OG. Whichever one goes top-15 probably pushes the other to top-25. You better be damned sure about either of them if you're spending two 1s and 3 or a 1, 2, and 3 to go up to 15/16 for one. I think if one might make it to 24 and that lets you slide up with Minnesota by swapping our 3/66 for their 3/97.
Ersery is a borderline 1st rounder and not a great fit for a team that passes a lot IMO. Foot speed in pass pro is a concern. I don't think I'd feel any better about taking him here than I would taking Anthony Belton in the 2nd or 3rd round.
Jackson from OSU as the LG to LT convert just doesn't jive with me either. He labors in his kick slide and his foot speed going to the pros is a concern. I love him at LG though, beast.
Savaiinaea and Membou are RTs at best, probably RGs.
I've come to the sad realization that we have to hope for another franchise to kind of drop the ball or get really lucky that a guy drops within a reasonable range for us in the draft.
I'd burn picks to get to 15/16. I don't think I could burn the picks to get to 10 though.
