Steve Keim also said Isaiah Simmons is like a “gumby doll” because he has “zero bend.”

Simmons also runs and closes “like a bullet,” Keim said.

Steve Keim wants to use Isaiah Simmons similarly to what he did at Clemson. Multiple positions. “you just let him go.”

Cardinals GM Steve Keim just called Isaiah Simmons a “Swiss Army knife,” which he said means he’s "a player eraser."

Amazing pick and I am still in shock that he fell all the way to us! He's a game changer that is exactly what our defense needed.

What a great off-season, to be able to get Simmons and Hopkins with our first two picks is nothing short of extraordinary.

Steve Keim said teams called about trading into the 8th spot but “this was not a player we were going to pass on."

1st time in a LONG time the consensus on this board is overwhelmingly loving this pick

I love the pick and he's someone that the opponents will need to game plan against every game.

Gumby reference? SK is drinking at home.

Love it. So glad they didn’t draft a receiver.

Steve Keim felt like there needed to be a run on quarterbacks or offensive linemen for Isaiah Simmons to fall to 8. Three QBs went in the first six picks.

We needed playmakers on D and have to stop the pass. Getting Simmons is amazing. My pain was watching our D last year. We have improved D in FA and now a great pick in the draft.

Steve Keim noted that oftentimes linebackers are too slow and safeties too small to cover tight ends. Isaiah Simmons has neither issue.

The SINGLE biggest positional upgrade we could have made on either side of the ball.

It's on Vance now. And hopefully we can go get Wade in some capacity as well!

That makes no sense, Weinfuss! He must've said he has extreme bend or something.

At least he’s at home

That is the scary part.

I remember watching Clemson's games last year and saying, "If only.... what a stud." Then, when we wound up winning a few games, saying "no chance".

Can't believe we got him. I predict the Chargers taking Herbert will go down as one of the worst picks in history.

Thanks San Diego. Thanks Houston.

Keim sold his soul to the devil and I am good with that.

 

[blindseyed]

I gotta say I'm still giddy lol

 

[Goldfield]

Wasnt who I would've picked, but he is a really good player so I am happy.

Then who?

Love the pick was third on my big board.

Better hope Gilbert stays healthy (heck even DJ) and Murray if called upon is ready. Season could be ruined quick or not live up to expectations if Kliff doesnt trust the OLine to run his offense.

Not trying to be a debbie downer. Love the player. Just our offense could have truly been ready to roll.

And there is fear that Vance simply is the issue on defense.

As a UT ex and you being a Boomer Sooner, get this... there is something to be said for actually having a defense haha
