John houston Jr.LSU has a pair of ILBs who i like:
Patrick Queen -- who really showed up in the Natl Champ game. 2nd round guy. 6-1 227 and can run
Jacob Phillips -- all around good player, bigger at 6-3. 4th rounder
other "rangy" kinds of run / cover ILBs, all tall, all 230 lbs or so:
Troy Dye of Oregon. 6-4 ive seen him mocked everywhere from late 1 to middle 4 or so.
Justin Strnad (spelled right)-- 6-3, Wake Forest. 5th round or so
and as a real flyer:
Charles Snowden, Virginia. 6-7 (!!) 235 lbs. 5-6th round
Finally:
a up-sized safety that is the small school version of Simmons:
Kyle Duggar of Lenoire-Ryhne. 6-2, 225 lbs. Fast. Team captain, QBd the defense. Played a LB/S role. Also returned kicks and RB for them. 5th rounder. (This player has Keim written all over him BTW)
Duggar is a nice SS/FS KR with probably 4.46 time or something around, he would be a nice pick up, but he is a SS/FS I don't see us taking him since we have already 2 young guys there, but maybe he is the solution and having him and Baker back there... maybe.
Philips, is more a Hicks than a Simmons.
Queen is more OLB/ILB than ILB/SS not so good in coverage, but would be a nice add in the 2nd round to put opposite Chandler Jones.
But for Charles Snowden 6-6 with ~ 4.67 time is a OLB/DE prospect and in the NFL more a DE, maybe the right guy for our DE rotation.
