I recall hearing many saying the Simmons did a lot of different things, played all over, but didn't excel any of them. And lots of people disliked Leinart as a prospect and everything else (based on comments whenever I wore his stupid jersey that I threw away).
So he doesnt have a single player listed as "probowl talent"??
Right. Draftniks loved these moves. Over time we saw the major flaw in these players. Maybe there was a reason Leinart fell to the Cardinals?
That ranking system is dumb, amirite?
Well I see it every year and I feel like I never really see anyone in the 7's....or at least very few. And then I see tons and tons of players bunched together in the 5-6.5 range. I feel like he is just hedging his bets by putting 98% of the players in the middle.
No one higher than the fourth tier? Is that usual? Seems disappointing.
True, but I don’t think that’s the case with MHJ. He was a solid student, he’s extremely intelligent, and according to PJ, MHJ was the hardest worker in the OSU program.
This is football. No choirboys.

Possibly, but unlikely for a legacy player. Also his college teammates speak highly of him. Most scouts value that measure highly.
I'd say Zierlein is an outlier. Most scouts I've seen really like this (offensive) class.
But do they like it for it’s depth of starters verses high end guys?
Weird take.
Heard stories of MH and his gang affiliations...in Philly, I think. Might be wrong on location.
I've heard the overall number of "good players" is a lot higher this year than last.
You are correct.
Simmons was an exciting prospect but I remember large contingents wanting Lamb or Wirfs pre-draft.
I remember about 90-95% of the people here being ecstatic with the pick. Myself included.
That doesn’t speak well for “great” players which that ranking seems to support.
I am not talking about the board, more about all of the "experts". I personally wanted us to draft Derrick Brown or Javon Kinlaw. I didn't think Simmons would be there for our pick.
If it gets him to 4 I’m all for it.
i think both are true
