2020 1st round pick is Isaiah Simmons

[BritCard]

Play Simmons as much as possible and rotate everyone else. Since he can do it all he just stays on the field along with CJ, Peterson and Baker

Yup as I said above. Playing SS / Slot CB he just stays on the field most the time. Instead of Thompson in base and Murphy in Nickel. He does both.

It's not just the money. I don't see why they would put a guy in there with 120 college snaps at ILB in his rookie season when you are paying a vet $6m.

When your current box safety is a 5th round pick with about 300 snaps at the position that most suits Simmons for now. At box safety he can cover TE's and WRs and be in position to stop the run and on some plays where you might want Simmons range deep you can flip him with Budda. Similar to what the Chargers do with James.

You can have Hicks, Campbell and Simmons or Hicks, Simmons and Thompson.

I know which looks best to me.

He takes snaps from everyone. That's what makes him special, he can appear anywhere which a OC cannot plan for... which will really mess with a guy like Goff who is so robotic in his thought process relying on his coach

How are you feeling about the pick? I know you were really hoping for an OT

I couldn't agree More. Like you were reading off my big board..

That’s the great thing about Simmons. There’s isn’t a situation that he doesn’t play in. I. Year 2 he’s a 100 tackle guy and who knows what else he will accomplish

LOL...... Not surprised you two jokers double posted back to back!

I woke up so relieved today! Great Pick!!!!

 

[TigToad]

Going on record.

I can’t believe Simmons fell. I haven’t been this excited about someone falling since 2004. I wanted Dansby or Dockett in the 2nd. Then we got both.

I think he is going to be very, very good.

I am very excited now.

Will be interesting to see who Simmons pushes out of the starting lineup. They didn't take him at No. 8 to be a backup.

Next to Hicks seems obvious

A little more optimistic today.

He'll be great to have stop Lamar Jackson in the Super Bowl one day.

It gives are defense so much flexibility. To start I see Simmons like a roving nickel. Blitzing, covering TE , Spying Wilson, and the ability to cover from sideline to sideline.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

So stoked. Love the pick. Great player with an awesome attitude.

 

[football karma]

likely the best athlete drafted since Pat P?

Given his size, maybe better overall?

 

[Stout]

Excellent confluence of events that led to this excellent pick.

 

[SoonerLou]

Obviously Kyler ran a 40 (combine or pro day)

Do you think Kyler is faster than Simmons?


Either way they'll challenge each other at practice everyday. Kyler wont see guys that big as fast as him (or faster). And chasing Kyler around will be a good test for Simmons.

I'm good with it, Simmons is a superb talent and our defense is garbage. I'd like to solidify the line in front of Kyler but there are likely to be some decent tackles on the board at the top of the 3rd.

My concern with him has always been similar to the concerns we have heard from scouts and analysts. To get the best out of him you really need to write your whole defense around him and I don't think we have the coaching talent anywhere on the D side to do that. From Vance, to Davis and all they way down to Robertson. Nobody on the defensive side inspires me with confidence. Especially Vance.

If we had Todd Bowles I'd be putting money on Simmons for DROY.

A lot is resting on Simmons to just be too good to be coached down.

 

[football karma]

for all the talk of Simmons size, speed and athleticism -- check out last year's production:

104 tackles―16.5 going for a loss―with 8.0 sacks, three picks, eight pass deflections, and one forced fumble.

that's insane.

 

[Delmar M Lewis]

To me this offseason has been the best I have seen from any Cardinals team now let's just see how the rest plays out and I hope we actually have a season to watch these guys perform and Win it all this time!!!!

Makes plays. Which is what we need.

The board was running slow last night, so I just kept hitting the post reply button until it posted

Amazing pick was sure giants or panthers would grab him was stoked when Panthers took brown!!

Simmons is a straight beast a 4.3 lber doesn't come often!!

Cards should go oline in 3rd round

A+++++ offseason so far for cards

 

[Dan H]

Dabo Sweeney just raves about Simmons. Great interview heh.

 

[SoonerLou]

Simmons was top 5 on Keim's board. Turned down trade calls for the pick...

 

[JeffGollin]

It all comes down to: Is he a faster, more athletic, more physical, smarter version of Buccanon.

I think he is.

But we'll have to see
