I love John Simpson. @kurganspeaks highly of him as does Lance Zierlin(sp?). He’s maybe my favorite players in the draft. I think he’s plug and play at LG for the next 12 years. Instantly improves our run game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absoluetly cannot play Center. I might have some film of him trying his freshman year. It was horrible. He may have gotten better, but I never saw him take a snap at C at Clemson, or in high school. If anything, he is LG/RG capable and in a pinch, RT.

MOSteelers56 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I think it’s pretty simple that Simpson(or Hunt) helps the run game. Foster could hardly move last year. He could barely make it around AV, let alone getting all the way to the other side. If our line can run the power to both sides equally, with Ben starting, our offense is tough. I don’t think it was a coincidence that our run game inproved when Finney started in place of Ragu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbrunn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Is it bad that while everyone wants offense , I'm hoping for Winfield Jr? That d would be so dangerous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I’m gonna be sad when we take a running back at 49. Gonna be sad when they are not lightyears ahead of 2018 James Connor. Gonna be sad when we are 70/30 or 65/35 pass to run. Gonna be sad when we don’t extend them after 4 years because they are a running back. We have a starter. We are a pass first team. We drafted 3 straight years in a row. Next years draft class and FA class are both strong. I’m just gonna be sad, and based on what all mocks seem to have ya doing...I’m expecting to be sad. Though, I am on record openly apologizing to LeVeon Bells drafting, so.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigben07MVP Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 There goes Tee Higgins to the Bengals. I would have went another direction with AJG, Boyd, and Auden Tate already on the roster. But I get pairing him with Burrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben is gonna be 38 with a new OL piece or 2 and usually starts off the year rusty. The defense is already gonna be good at creating turnovers...they can’t go 8 straight games with only scoring 1 offensive td or less again. Agree to disagree I guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That d would be so dangerous I've been banging the table for a S since the end of FA. Any one of the top 5-6 would help us. Winfield, Delput or McKinney would make us elite. Glad there is a WR run here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
