He's not "always hurt". He has had a difficult couple of years due to a malignant growth on his head, but any contract would be contingent on a physical. I’m all for trading later round picks for veteran players. It brings certainty of talent where there is usually none when you are picking a player in the later rounds. With that said, the value for the player and the contract has to be right. Paying $16 million a year for a player that not be that into playing is a disaster.

I don't agree. Most of the time all you've lost is a Travis Wilson or Charlie Frye. And I don't care about the money. The cap keeps going up, and most contracts are garbage, security-wise, from the players' POV.

To note, though.... while it would be great if we got the 2nd coming of Joe Thomas, it's perfectly acceptable to get a guy that will simply be a solid starting LT for the next 8-10 years. That would still be the right LT. Like maybe a Doug Dieken type..

He had other injuries prior to the growth. The "time off" chart was definitely trending in a certain direction.
That said, you gotta think the time off due to his growth/holdout has done wonders for his body. I would hope that the same guy that's making these trade/contract demands while not playing is doing everything he can to stay in shape.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Simmons was being interviewed yesterday and was asked why a team should draft him. He said something like: there are 53 players on your roster and if you draft me, you will have 56.
I thought that was pretty clever and I agree that he can fill multiple positions on the team.

ISAIAH SIMMONS
LB, COLLEGE PLAYER
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport report "most teams" view Georgia's Isaiah Simmons as a safety, but that debate over his best position could cause him to fall in the draft Thursday evening.
Simmons worked out as a linebacker at the Combine, but has experience at linebacker, safety and slot corner. Rapsheet reports Simmons' evaluations are all over the map. Simmons has been rumored to go off the board as high as No. 3, but Rapsheet's words hint at an evening one plunge. Tweeners always create more uncertainty than teams are comfortable with.

Georgia? Issiah Wilson goes to Georgia. Doubt he'll be a safety though. He'd have to lose like 100 pounds and get faster

If we take Simmons he will be our MIKE... Sideline to Sideline snuffing out everything and on passing downs anything and everything. Covering the TE which we had problems last year as well as blitzing...or mirroring Lamar type QBs which has always burnt us

jmho Doesn't a Mike have to be able to get off blockers? I was thinking he needed to be a free-roaming Will

Dude is killing it at the Combine and he killed it all year long. He might even be available at 10.
A couple of questions:
Would you draft him?
How would you use him on D if you did draft him? Yes I would draft him. Move him around on D. He can play LB and rush the QB or he can be an extra DB and drop into coverage. He is really versatile.
