That ain't bad as I like the two DL picks. But I think Raimann is a project and you need your first round pick to be an immediate impact guy. Not sure he's that.

Think both Williams, Otton go much higher

Probably but the simulator is what it is.

At 6'6" I don't know if Raimann could play LG or not but they might try him there. He's pretty strong with 30 repetitions on the bench press and reportedly has been a quick learner since moving for TE to OT. I've heard some people mention the Cowboys are concerned about Tyron's drop off at the end of last season like maybe he's not going to be as good going forward.

Love the idea, but don’t like Raimann in the 1st. I think he’s 25?

Id also flip Williams and Mathis as I think that’s more realistic. Mathis’ sack numbers are incredibly inflated and he’s more of a linear athlete run stopper.

Which simulator did you use?

Agree, though Raimann you'll get 4 years on a rookie contract, and he'll be an instant impact player. If we're trying to contend now it makes sense. Especially when it comes to value at position. It's not a top 10 pick. Personally I trade out of the first round every time unless Linderbaum falls. I know a lot of people think he's too small, but I personally think he's a stud, and like that he's shorter. Dak isn't 6'5". He needs a shorter center to see over the pocket, and also being shorter at C isn't necessarily bad. Most NT's are short, and heavy. Makes pad level easier to achieve.

Thats true, his sacks were more hustle sacks than Aaron Donald sacks but I like the hustle. The profile called them muddle sacks.
