2025 4th round pick is Cody Simon LB

[Zeem_Freeze]

Would not have taken him. Here’s my post from the other thread. T Rex arms, mediocre pursuit speed, sheds poorly, poor tackler. This guy screams special teams to me. Too early for that. He could be used to blitz on passing downs, but is that really a need. Only 15 college starts, not likely to see time at LB

rose bowl defensive MVP, championship game defensive MVP, led the team in tackles, and team captain.Not sure how that = special teamer.

If this guy has trex arms, mediocre pursuit speed, sheds poorly, and is a poor tackler then he should go buy a lottery ticket.... Luckiest man in the world to appear next to the ball carrier and tackle him all year.

Does this guy have a playing style like Jordan Hicks

 

[unseenaz]

Prototypical MLB size 6’2 235. Very productive last year with 7 sacks, 112 tackles. Hard not to pencil him in right away! We’ll see how camp shakes out.

This pick kind of reminds me of the linebacker pick from a few years ago from UCLA, (stat wise, lots of tackles) I think. Can’t remember his name. May have played with us a couple of years, but didn’t ever play.

7 sacks last year.

Message has been sent to the defense: kill the quarterback

ok this makes more sense - murderer approved

Indeed & I like it! JG did say when he was hired “we want killers”.

It’s very clear that Monti & Sears understand drafting wayyyy better than MillerKeim. It’s night & day.

Starting to think the new Unis weren't a coincidence.

Honestly I know nothing about him but his stats look good and seems a high character person.

welcome back will hernandez - not being sarcastic - it'll be good to have him back providing he's 100

Agreed on the missed tackles I remember seeing. He definitely fits the “mold” of a JG ILB. With coaching & maturity he could definitely be a diamond in the rough. He had his best season last season!

You’ve been very good so far, but couldn’t disagree more regarding this kid. I worked for an OH based company for 30 years & developed friendships with tons of Buckeye fans. To a man & woman, they all said this was a great pick & that we would love him. Great tackler, great instincts, and great leader were in all their comments. First time we’ll have to agree to disagree lol.

Wow, that's saying something

With the Cardinals franchise, a great defense is few and far between. So the bar is rather low lol.

 

[BirdGangThing]

if you're a linebacker at ohio you're friggin smart - they don't do dumb - and if you're getting 7 sacks from that position you'll fit right in with the murdergang

Really hope you’re right, we are *very* light at guard for both depth and starter quality.

Love that and that he was in Mexico to actually call the pick live

The Cards definitely are big on RAS when drafting players!

Definitely & he’s been a dawg for Big Red in the lineup
