The Draft Network has updated their big board. In order;
1. Chase Young
2. Jeff Okudah
3. Isaiah Simmons
4. Joe Burrow
5. Jedrick Wills
6. Tua
7. Wirfs.
Several points I found interesting;
Burrow ranked 4. Picking him first may be reasonable based on the value of the position.
Best OT is felt to be Wills
Tua over Hebert
BTW, Love was 21 and Herbert 23.

Picking a LB over a QB isn’t the right value. Simmons is a huge talent but it’s just not the right move

Also consider all of these rankings and boards are just different opinions. Doesn’t mean THAT much truly
 
even though Love and Herbert has those rankings, teams that need a qb will have those players higher based on need

Exactly why BPA is not the end all/be all some purport.

It's hugely relevant, but not always the way to go.
 
Simmons is the QB of the defense! Special player, freak athlete and plays a variety of roles. I understand the need for a QB, but Simmons is for real, not injury prone, and not going to cost picks to acquire him. I hope we dont pull a 2012 and put the need for QB above all else and settle for an average QB with hype or an injury prone one who shows all the things you want but may never play a full season.
 
I would also add we know that board’s may not pan out.

And keep in mind BPA isn't A standard. This thread proves it. There are no? player rankings that have the same players ranked in the same place in the top 10, much less 7 rounds. 32 teams will have 32 different boards. Yet, some will complain Miami didn't take BPA and COULD HAVE had . . ., as if there is only ONE board. No one can complain of any team's pick until they know that team's board. Getting the board wrong is a legitimate complaint, but not going by the board? Nope.

I've asked 2-3 times - which NFL team in the last 20 years has drafted pure BPA EVERY pick over several years. The answer explains a lot

As I've suggested before, BPA is subjective opinion at best.

There is no clear way to directly compare an OT to a linebacker for example.

Any time ppl argue past picks, it is done with a huge amount of hindsight.

That's not to say that some picks are largely seen as mistake from the instant they were made. Charles Harris is a good example. A high percentage of "experts" and common fans alike saw that as a fail even before it happened.
 
I could see the Dolphins drafting Simmons, Okudah, Brown, or an offensive lineman at 5 instead of a QB. If they aren’t convinced either Tua or Herbert are their long term answer at the QB position they could easily decide to draft one of the top ranked players in the draft who can come in and be a starter from day one.
