Dickerson is great, but he isn't (wasn't) a 1st round draft pick.


He’s played like one. Wouldn’t be shocked if he’s taken in Rd 1. He’s a savage and this hurts bad - from a leadership and talent stand point.

A healthy Waddle MIGHT negate the points lost from losing LD69, but I’d rather have Dickerson than Waddle for the playoffs. A good DT (or interior rush from anyone) on his shite that day can absolutely ruin an entire game plan - think Saints vs. Vikings last year (you especially should remember this; I do, unfortunately), Quinnen Williams basically all of 2019, etc.

The ability to lean on the other teams’ DL all game with a punishing OL cannot be understated.

He was probably the best center in college football, but rarley does a center get taken in the 1st round. Kelly to Indy was an exception.

But you're right, he could've been a 1st round pick to a team with a need there. But I doubt it'll happen now with his FSU and recent injury history.
