    Easily top 10 considering he seems to have turned his life around. If he hadn't, he might fall to the late middle or even go undrafted.

    Generous...perhaps. Perhaps not.

    Oliver is a bit of a question mark because he added a lot of weight and will play a different position in the pros. Wilkins is a better mover and very slippery, but Simmons has the power Wilkins doesn't have. Simmons also has elite length.

    Most people who had Simmons out of the top 10 dropped him for the incident in HS and then also for the injury.

    So 'experts' argue he could be the best player in the draft in a few years. I think that's a bit rich, but NFL.com did have him as the 2nd rated player in the draft. They only had 4 players rated highly enough to have a chance at being pro bowl players.

    Point is, if he becomes a dominant player, he'll be worth it. Question is...does he become Cox/Suh or does he only become a Brockers type?

    Zwerlein @nfl.com also has him rated as the 2nd best player in the draft with a chance to be a pro bowl player.

    So yes, some opinions think he's a top 5 player. JRob clearly thought so since in his press conference he said he was rated as highly with only a handful of players...meaning top 5 on their board.

    Man it never seems to amaze me the # of times a loose ball pops out after a guy dives on it.

    2 things here....
    #1 Our biggest issue was offense. Ranked at the bottom so we signed Humphries and drafted Brown in addition to bolstering our O Line.
    #2 What he did in HS is in the past and based on different circumstances than Tyreek Hill and if Amy (who is a woman) can look past it, nuff said. I like this pick up.

    Better than Wilkins and probably better than little Oliver. Certainly better than any DT last year, the year before and the year before that.
