Manny Lawson, another Ryan Sims?? - Page 2

Sims was a monster in college. He was able to stop the run and get pressure on the qb, a combination not seen often by a DT. There is no question that he benefited from playing alongside Julius Peppers. The player in this years draft most often compared to peppers is Williams, who plays the opposite side from Lawson. Lawson undoubtedly benefited some by playing opposite of Williams. Would we be making the same mistake twice by drafting Lawson?

I believe he will also, if he can stay healthy.

That is, unfortunately, a big "if".

Well, I respectfully disagree with your opinion. If it were just a question of Sims being hurt occasionally, I might agree with ya. But, he has never played one full season in 4 so I'd bet he's never going to amount to anything. He can't help the team if he can't stay on the field. IMO, he's more pf a BUST now than ever. If you still can't count on the 6th player taken in the draft 4 years after the fact, then something isn't right.
