McShay Invitational Draft and Trade Chatter Thread

With Interior offensive line as the second biggest need I want to bring back the beast mode.

Overview
Broad, well-built snowplow of a guard with the traits and power to turn a crease into a full-fledged running lane. Teams looking to add physicality up front will covet Simpson, but keep in mind he was plenty effective with scoop blocks, pulls, second-level climbs and even screen blocking, which shows the big man can move. Tardiness coming out of his stance and issues changing direction in pass protection are concerns that may not be easily fixed and could lead to matchup-based inconsistencies. However, he plays with good technique and has the tools to become an early starter and a good NFL guard.

Strengths
  • Very big and very strong
  • Prototypical muscle mass and proportional frame for interior lineman
  • Core strength and body composure through contact stand out
  • Accelerates into first contact, creating heavy thud
  • Resets hands and hips to dig out of poorly leveraged positioning
  • Always has eyes on linebacker during work-up blocks
  • Transitions from first to second blocks with timing and surprising accuracy
  • Difficult to bull-rush
  • Unlocks hips and anchors down when challenged
  • Has length and pop in hands to stymie basic interior rush plans
  • Athletic enough to get into space on screen passes
 
Excellent pick on Gallimore. Was thinking about campaigning for him to be autodrafted by the next team almost regardless of need due to his value now.
 
did gmoney send a list in? he was around earlier but hasn't been seen in 15 mins
