Isaiah Simmons is one of my favorite players available for the draft
I am excited to see him play tonight
I think that he can be a transformative player
He can play multiple positions and play them well
Simmons is unique in that he is great in coverage, he is strong against the run, and he can rush the passer
He is so long and fast that he can cover backs, receivers, and tight ends
His position flexibility seems perfect for what the new coaching staff values
I can see him play the joker in a 46 or safety or olb
in a 34
What makes Simmons so unique is that he is 6’-4” 235 bs but runs a 4:4 forty and he also has an incredible wingspan
I am rooting for LSU but would love to see Simmons excel

Well then Okudah is available.
And Okudah is an elite prospect, a Jalen Ramsey level prospect.

matchup and defense disguise nightmare. thanks for posting the state, hadn't seen them
With his impact on defense and specials, he will be the apple of Judge's eyes
Me too.
Toss in Conklin and that would be a fantastic offseason.
He could add 5 to 10 pounds without losing too much speed. Put him in a NFL workout program and see what happens. He does have a long frame
He's got good size and is only 21 yrs old. No reason he can't put on some weight if needed and still keep his speed.
Love Chaisson and Simmons. The kind of freak speed guys our defense needs. I want both guys.

to be the guy I would want at #4.
Me too.
Hell yes wow.
Haha. All that aside...this guy is really legit.
So does every LB that's come out of college in the last 10-15 years. I looked earlier today. Kuechly, Wagner, Patrick Willis, Bowman & Rolando McClain all had this concern according to scouting reports.
No doubt about that. LSU has its share and it's pretty amazing to me Clemson had their whole DL drafted last year and they're right back reloaded.
Cam Chancelor type. could excel.in a cover 3 type d.

I can see why you want him versus someone like Ertz, but he needs to do a better job disengaging

Thank you for this expert analysis
Burrows with great quick reaction to take off...
I know Lawrence is the uber prospect, but I like Burrow better.
He was all over the place in the beginning of the game but sine then hes done nothing. Hes mostly just being used in coverage though
Exact same for me. Heard great things. Put game on...nothing except getting knocked on ass by a tiny WR and getting swallowed on a blitz as burrow runs by him for 6.
I'm a Simmons fan but I'm not so sure he is a LBer.
Simmons is all over the place. Give him a set position and I think he is fine.
He is not going to make every defensive play.

You mean the play where he was held around the neck? He has at least 2 pass break ups and has been a force.
2. Chase
3. Simmons
4. ?
Trade down..which is easier said than done

Agreed. He was covering Moss the TE all over the field and Moss did nothing. The one play he didn't take him, he got the TD there before half.
Then he's no good. Wouldn't draft him because he only plays on Friday Nights
I like him but not at 4

...he's the defensive version of Booby Miles.

plus he has an ACL tear or had one. will affect him long term
I like him but not at 4
Does not play fast? What???

Haha, what? Is there any player that’s every played football that is good in coverage but can’t play fast? Not sure how that’s even possible.
