It's not as big a risk as multiple high picks. It's a big risk, but it's not a crippling blow if it tanks.

How do you figure?
If Jaylon Moore is an average LT, he has probably 6 years or so at that level. That's the bulk of PMs remaining career. That's as 'long-term' as it gets.
We may already have one. And like I said, presuming coin-flip odds for both guys, all you've really done is improve your odds by about 25% by taking Simmons anyway.
That's a whole lot of risk you're taking for a marginal return.
