2025 4th round pick is Cody Simon LB

[Cheesebeef]

Okay… it’s kinda comical at this point how much we’ve ignored the offense all off-season.

 

[GeorgiaCard88]

Can’t say I know much about him but if we want to use a 4th rounder to draft a non premium position on a kid who has played at a high level on a big school on some big stage games. I’m for it

 

[iLLmatiC]

Rip to our offense

 

[ajcardfan]

Time will provide the reality

We are in the part of the draft, day 3, when less than 10% of the players picked will be long term solid NFL starters. If we hit on even one of these three today as a long term starter Monti will have done better than average.

Rip to our offense

Still plenty of talent on O to win. If this turns into building a true dominating defense, I’m all for it.

I don’t think any guard or wide receiver at this point in the draft is gonna push us over the top anyway. The hand wringing is kinda funny though.

ESPN guys described him as TOUGH. RELIABLE, COMMUNICATOR. Gave him kudos for run defense and super high character. He isn't Ray Lewis but he is exactly what JG looks for in a MLB.

Well said - really doubt we are drafting any difference makers for this offense on day 3 of the draft

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

Wow this doesn’t match his stats or other reviews.
Lead OSU in tackles w/
7 sacks. Leader on the D.

 

[D-Dogg]

He's fast, smart, productive at a big time team as a leader, tackling machine. At this point in the draft, I love the pick.

Does anyone have a projected defensive depth chart?

It feels like most are on board with this draft. It’s refreshing

one of the wildest arizona drafts in memory - idk if monti was going by bpa or body count

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.

Ohio St fans think the Ohio St player was a great pick?

If the kid sucked, the OSU fans I know would be the first to say so.

How bout Sawyer?

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Awesome guy! Will be a team leader, if he makes the team.

Hard to tell what kind of player he’ll be in the NFL. He had a great year this year, but was unable to get on the field his first 4 to 5 years at Ohio State. That’s concerning.

He seems a little small to me. Not sure what they list them at, but he doesn’t play very big. But maybe the light came on for him this year and he’ll be a great player going forward. it’s just questionable.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

I’ll admit, I don’t know much about him but if we were going to take an Ohio State kid, should have went with Sawyer. Of course Pitt takes him a few picks later and he will probably end up the heir apparent to TJ Watt

 

[PACardsFan]

They like Sawyer too, but Simon fits JG’s system and crosses off more boxes as to what Monti & JG are looking for.

 

[Harry]

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 murdergan

If you want to blitz from there just move Butch inside. He’ll get there and if they run a draw he’s more likely to make the tackle.

Never felt the need to follow the herd. I don’t hate him. I just don’t think he sees the field except special teams. He can’t cover passes. He’ll have trouble staying healthy against the physical nature of the NFL. He’s a great teammate and can play special teams. He plays okay going downhill but is otherwise limited. He likely will struggle to tackle NFL rushers. There were much better players on the board.

 

[Harry]

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

Hernandez will be signed

He doesn’t suck, good kid. He’s just not a strong player at NFL level.
