There are about 20 different ways to go in the first round that could help this team. Same for each round all the way through 4.
Arguing about who and when is the fun, I guess.
But make NO mistake-there is not a day one upgrade LT in this draft at all, more than likely and certainly not where we can reach them. There just isn't. Not Simmons, who may never play meaningful NFL football, not Conerly, who isn't strong enough to anchor but might be after a year. Not Ersery, or Grant, or either of the Texas guys, or Jackson who filled in pretty well for Simmons.
Just...no.
Now, you may feel like it's worth the risk to take the shot; and to that I say, why are you OUT on Kingsley then? Because next year at this time, you're going to be out on one of these kids, too.
I'm not saying we SHOULDN'T take the shot. I'm saying we need to realize what it is we'd actually be doing, and be okay with that.
