And if that's the case, why bother ever doing much at all in relation to the draft? That's where I'm at with no real reason to explain why I feel ONL is also a massive gamble.

While he has a nice "win rate," that rate is on a much smaller number of snaps than most DTs in this class, so you have to curb the enthusiasm a little there.
He's the football equivalent of a pinch hitter. We took a guy that's probably going to spend the first two seasons as a sub-package pass rush DT in the 2nd round... when we really could have used a long-term 1T that can start now.
Yes, it's a bit of a gamble if you're expecting a starter there... which you should be.
I do like the player, a lot actually. I just call it like I see it, though.

I think if you had started the Simmons with something similar and not 3 posts that called it ****ing dreadful, the worst pick ever with no reasoning, and then calling someone a ****ing morons, maybe you get a different result.... and there was also a lot of civil discussion in that thread before you got all butthurt that people aren't sucking your dick for draft analysis.
People tend to reap what they sow in this forum.
