Yes. Simmons has great traits. The anti Simmons crowd is right about the risk though. I’ll be curious to watch how this plays out. I’m more desperate than they are for a developmental tackle and even an emergency tackle if Moore is injured. I’m concerned that Moore is not very good. Did anyone watch Moore against top competition? In the film I watched, he looked ok, not a superior athlete and limited reach. But he seemed like he had good instincts and technique. I’d still like to have some competition at LT. Simmons traits and his projection if healthy is superior to both Kingsley and Wanya. I agree that the sample size this year is limited and against weaker competition. Simmons traits are elite and he has improved every year. It’s a risky move and his eval will be super important. I hope the docs know what they are doing.
