Round 2 DT Question

Main question is would you take either in the 2nd? Both have issues and both a great players...

Thoughts?

Between the two, I would say Lawrence.

Simmons will basically be out this year with his torn ACL.  Then, most DL need another year to fully recover, which he will be trying to do while adjusting to the NFL game.  This puts these kinds of cases so far behind that it's hard for them to catch up.  Sidney Jones is a similar case, and he's done nothing so far in the NFL.  Lawrence you can get into your system and your training program immediately.  

The other issue is that there's a very brutal video out there of Simmons beating a woman.  I was in support of us rolling the dice on Mixon, but adding another player with similar issues on video is asking for trouble.  At the very least, it will be a PR nightmare and a team distraction as news outlets drag up Joe's issues alongside Simmons.
