I don't like Love in the first round at all. But I'd be happy to see him go to the clots. I only watched a little bit of him... but I wasn't exactly impressed. His bowl game was especially meh
I wouldn't pass up Kinlaw or Delpit for Henderson either. But I'm fading the idea of a first round WR and wouldn't be mad with Henderson at 20 if he's the best available CB (which in this mock he is)

But DJ knows a lot more than me... so IDK.

I think in DJ's mind we have Robinson.  Just let him continue to mature and play out his contract.  If he's not the guy then you go to that position next year.

Probably. Still though... I don't pass up on what seems to be a sure thing LT. Robinson hasn't been overly impressive. And I've been a big defender of his but Thomas would be an instant upgrade. Robinson then could slide into RG and we upgrade 2 OL spots in one pick, leaving the rest of the draft to concentrate on NT, mikeLB, CB, FS, and TE.
Taking Simmons means we need to draft IOL still and our OT situation has to get better (Taylor must improve upon rookie year and Robinson has to get better fully removed from injury)
I don't like the riskiness of it.
Our top ten selection needs to improve the team instantly without trying to figure out how. Simmons is a talent but how does Wash use him? Will he scheme him up right for our defense? Does Simmons play Will and then Jack stays in at Mike? And so Quincy Williams is just relegated to backup/ST... Seems like a waste of a 3rd round pick from last year (though, not surprising given the track record of DC/TC)
