Well Egbuka or Burden are going to contribute MORE to the healthy version of this team than an OL would this year. And would very likely ALSO be needed to contribute in a big way next year by design.

There's just not a viable 'need' distinction to be made here, IMO.

Yet many people are and it's talking them into taking a guy who's doing one-legged squats on draft day who's also touting the hyper-aggressive nature of the ligament replacement surgery he had to have as though it's a GOOD thing.

I really don't get it.

There is one thing I can guarantee you about Josh Simmons...he isn't playing a down in the NFL next season. So even if there are injuries, they aren't turning to Simmons next year. It's that bad and weird of an injury.
