With all the speculation and y’all of breaking the bank for Adams, I’d prefer to break the bank and move up to snag Isaiah Simmons (if possible). It would essentially be akin to drafting and grooming our own Darren Woodson 2.0. What do you all think?

He will go top 10 IMO, I'd rather trade up for Okudah if he's there at 7. It's a tough choice.

I was thinking the same thing, when I saw him when they beat my Irish

I agree. I love Adams, but if it’s 1st + massive contract vs 1st + 2nd and rookie contract for five years, I’d prefer Simmons. If the Giants go OT, I’d start making calls. I don’t think he makes it past the jags tho

Daniel Jeremiah said most the execs he talked to saw Simmons as a safety. A few folks thinks he has a mini slide, 7-14 range.

Played more Safety and CB than LB.

He was rarely in the box in the games I reviewed.

That does not mean he can't play LB but what he did in college was not like playing LB in the NFL.

He would be a great match-up player as a Safety because he should be able to do everything that any Safety can do.
Play single-high (FS)
In the box SS
Cover slot WRs without going to Nickel.

#17 plus next year's 1st would get to about #10 maybe #8.

My point exactly

SImmons' position is "coverage". Forget the LB versus safety debate, he's just going to be covering, and you can put any label you want on that.

IMO, he's a can't-miss player and I'd gladly give up a 1st+2nd for him.

If I was looking at both as prospects I’d take Adams. He was more of a sure thing due to knowing he’d be a safety.

I agree @keysersoze

If I'm shipping picks for a safety, it's for Simmons. Probably cost less too pick wise.
Dude is just oozing athletic ability and he was a damn good player at Clemson.
Unreal at what positions he played at in college.



I would even double dip and take Muse day 3 too.
