There is an argument that he moves just well enough for us to be interested. I don’t see it personally, but @CuriousHusker does and he’s typically better than me at deciphering how a prospect’s movement skills will play in the league. So I default to his wisdom to an extent, but I also think there are better options (Haynes, McCormick, Amegadjie as a OT/OG, etc…)
These sims will make you crazy.
Take a DT at 29 and there are DT’s at every pick.
Pass on the DT at 29 and dog gone if the rest don’t come off the board.
Take a CB at 38 after a trade back and you’re left with a plethora on your next pick.
Also, I realize that for as much as I want to see us take a starting-caliber G this year, I have no shortlist of players to pull from. I think I’m going to keep it that way until draft day. Ignorance is bliss.
There was a run on CB’s in this mock in the 1st so traded back and still got Tampa in the late 2nd where I think he has value
I love Fiske and I think McCormick is an interesting prospect
The thing I like about Fiske is that you would only be asking him to play on passing downs considering how well we did vs the run last year. I like Ruke in that roll as well.
Mock simulators are fun but the reality is they’re not going to burn a first round pick on a guy who’s going to be the number six option in our offense at best
