He's certainly a great prospect, that's for sure.

But that Clemson defense would've certainly been a lot better than just average without him. They're loaded to the gills with four and five star recruits. They had the #3 scoring defense in the NCAA, #5 in yards. That wasn't due to just one guy.

Man...I know Clemson.  Future players will be great.  Current last year...young.  Simmons is different.  Without him they would have been very average.

I am interested in your opinion...give me your top guys?  Brown?

A top 5 defense goes to middle of that pack due to losing one player? LOL! No.

He's a great prospect But he wasn't the difference between Clemson being ranked top 5 in D and Clemson being ranked in the 50s or 60s. That's absurd.

Brown, Wills, Wirfs, Okudah, Simmons

I want one of those guys and honestly, that's probably my order. But I don't even think we're going to look at OTs at #7 and I think that's a mistake. Okung is 31, coming off of a injury plagued season, and is in the last year of his contract. Moton is also in the last year of his contract. A lot of talk hinting at Little moving inside to OG.

With our lack of depth at DL you have to go DL.  A great DL can make linebackers and corners look good, not vice versa.  Clemsons DL is extremely well coached (and talented), and it made Simmons job a lot easier.  Put him behind our DL right now and it’s a waste

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
    • I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
