Pick 19 of the 2019 NFL Draft: Jeffery Simmons, DT, Miss St.

Well, that was one take. Others say around week 8 or week 10. It's hard to say. But most agree he should be ready at some point this season.

 

I was beyond mad, when it was him and not jaylon........ and the hatred came back this past year when Jaylon blew up

 

GREAT pick...a real DT...not a "sort of quick" fat guy.

 

All good points for sure. I absolutely wish he could play this year. But either way I think we are going to happy with this kid.

Jrob actually said we had trade offers to move back but he felt like there might have been a team or 2 after us that had Simmons targeted as well.

 

Did you mean to respond to my post? I’m not sure what I said that was BS because I agree with everything you said.

 

C Davis and Evans miss half their rookie seasons with injury's.

I just don't get all the crying about him possible missing the season.

 

Well yeah, but those injuries either happened after we drafted them, or were not considered very serious. In this case, we're talking about a 300 lb DT tearing his ACL not long before the draft.

I honestly don't think he plays this year (or at best, gets some limited snaps late in the season). He won't be 100% until next off-season, and that's if he comes back to 100% at all. At his size, it's not a guarantee that he can bounce back from a severe knee/acl injury.

 

Our team is good enough now where nobody that was sitting there was going to come in and drastically change our 2019 season. Crap teams are drafting for now. Good teams are drafting for the future.

In the first round, you want elite talent. You won't get that at 19 unless there are some red flags. We got a top ten level talent. Well done Jrob.

 

You do realize he was protecting his sister who was being attacked, right? Now it wasn't right, but it's nowhere near similar to the Hill, Hunt, or Rice situations.
