the Defense needs a leader, Simmons just looks the part. How great would it be to finally spend a premium draft pick on a dominant LB?
Okudah would nice too, but he doesn't move the scales for me, and we already spent a ton of draft capital on the secondary last year, I would look to FA this year to fill any holes there.
The same comp I had for Isaiah Simmons as well. Darius Leonard. I've been saying it since the Judge hire. Simmons should be the favorite at #4 as things stand now. Just makes too much sense.

Young 7.40
Brown 7.16
Okudah 7.15
Simmons 7.08
Wills 7.06
Gross-Matos 6.50
Becton 6.49
Wirfs 6.49
Epenesa 6.47
Figure between now and the draft the top 3 players will consistently be the top 3 you listed above. Figure in Burrow at 1 and the NYG are assured of at least one of them being available. I love Okudah but I wish our DL wasn’t as crowded. Brown would be a great consolation prize if Okudah is gone.

Exactly! Simmons will be called at #4 by the New York Giants. He's what the team needs and has the associated value with the 4th overall pick.
IMO, the Giants are absolutely desperate for new defensive players who can make a difference. We have none on the current roster. Isaiah Simmons will be our first.
Listening to Joe Judge, one could conclude that Simmons is their guy
can't see anyone complaining about any of them. Regarding tackles, I agree with Zierlein that Wills is the best of them. If we draft him, I could see him playing at rt for a year and then moving over to left tackle to replace Solder in 2021.
Read somewhere that Okudah could be put on an island and single cover any WR, Also saw comparisons to Peterson of the Cardinals. I dont watch much college but he looked very good in the big games at the end of the year. If those comparisons are true and hes as close to a shutdown CB as there is, Okudah would be worth more than Simmons either as a ILB or safety. This is an elite CB prospect; thats huge
Simple decision. LT availability is not guaranteed. Would be like a team needing a QB passing on taking the rated QB staring them in the face.
It's analogous to DG's selection of Jones last year. He saw a franchise QB and didn't give a rat about others' opinions about Jones and his supposed prospect ranking among all prospects.
You see a franchise OT you take him if you need one. The Giants have needed one for years now.
Worth stating twice👍

I think that they will lock on Simmons and draft him without trading down because no one else in the upper part of the draft has his versatility.
