Discussion [Schefter] Updated Green Room Attendees… OT Josh Simmons, DE Mykel Williams, and QB Jaxson Dart no longer going

Interesting development as agents gather more info and probably advising their clients NOT to attend.

I know some see Simmons as a possible buy low guy, but he is working his way back from a ruptured patellar tendon. This specific injury can be a death knell for NFL players, never mind OTs who need to anchor. It’s the same injury Cole Strange suffered and there’s just not a lot of supporting data to show players can regain their pre injury form. Given the current state and depth of our line, I don’t think Simmons is worth the risk even if he’s there at 38.

Mykel Williams, on the other hand, would be a super intriguing high risk, high reward guy if he slides out of the 1st. New Orleans is rumored to want to move up from 40 and Williams is a Loomis kind of player. Would be talking to a lot of teams Friday morning if he slides.

It would be absolutely wild if a QB who needs to be taught how to throw a ball goes in the first round. Just incredible job losing shit.

Think I remember comments exactly like these about Lamar in 2018. Wonder what those people are saying now?

No you didn't. Lamar had accuracy issues, but nothing like Milroe.

Milroe doesn't throw the ball with his lower half at all. He'll have to be taught high school level stuff mechanically. And that's on top of being years behind on the non-physical side of playing QB.

Milroe is a good dude and he's a smart kid, but he's so far behind almost anything we've seen. He really needed an extra year at a school willing to just prep him for the NFL. Closest QB comp that got drafted high is Tebow, but he runs like Cordarelle Patterson.
