Simmons would fill a great need we have to stop TEs from killing us each game. Nothing like having a great LB. So exciting watching one shut down play after play. One of my all time favs was Seau. Loved watching Kuechly also.
Love the great DTs also. Loved Mer!in Olsen, and the new DTs like Donald, even Suh. So am big on Derrick Brown, if not Simmons. Stopping the run in our division is a must.
But after all said and done, we should take the top plug and play OT if we can. If our top OT that fits our need perfectly is already gone, I don't want us to take one just to be taking one. From what I have read and heard, we should be after either Wirfs or Thomas.
If all 4 of the top studs are gone, and for whatever reason they don't want to spend our only pick in Rds 1&2 on a OLman, then I would love Ruggs. I think he would open up the whole field for our other WRs to work, and be the speedster coveted by most teams. plus, like Hopkins, he doesn't drop passes. I am sure they would have a bet going on who drops a pass next season. Since we are going to be a passing team, it makes total sense to me. If they feel certain that Murray's familiarity with Lamb trumps pure speed, I am okay with that too.
I am not a fan of trading back though. Stay put and take the greatest player we can who will fill a definite need for years to come. Great players make plays when most needed. Dont sacrifice one of those just to pick up an additional pick who may or may not turn out playing on a pro level.
