Chris Simms Scouting

[Teague31]

Been watching his stuff on YouTube. Really good. And he’s not just a cut and pasted guy. Not afraid to go out on a limb. Doesn’t have Jeudy in his top 5 receivers, doesn’t have Delpit in his top five safeties.

Jeudy not in top 5 lol

Jeudy not in top 5 lol

I love seeing something different with the rankings. You see busts in the top 15 picks all the time, so who is to say Simms is wrong? And to be honest i'm not sure that their is a huge gap in the top 4 receivers in this class. I'm not sure i would put 5 players ahead of Jeudy, but one could make the argument.

Everything I've heard is that Jeudy is the best route runner in a long time to come out. He can get seperation at every part of the route. He's got speed. Varied releases. Etc..

Idk..just don't trust someone if they don't think he's not top 5 in this class. Jmo.

Jeudy is #1 WR in this draft class.
I won't be reading anything else Simms has to say.

 

[beware_d-ware]

I respect Simms for going against the grain, bit no way are there 5 better WRs in the draft than Jeudy.

And I think Chase young goes in the 3rd round.

Wow! That's edgy! Haha

Jeudy not in his top-5 receivers means he's a just trying to get clicks.

thats not clicks that’s just ignorant

He caught a lot of crap for ranking the 2018 QB's like this two seasons ago

1.) Lamar Jackson

2.) Josh Allen

3.) Baker Mayfield

4.) Sam Darnold

5.) Josh Rosen

And pretty much nailed it.

Yep, just because it's different doesnt mean it's wrong. Most rankings are copy/paste the general consensus then make a few modifications.

I’d have to hear his reasoning and see who he has ranked ahead before I kill Simms too much...but I don’t see anyway Jeudy isn’t top 5. Deion’s line at the combine was hilarious and spot on “Jeudy’s 1st step will make you want to cuss”...Jeudy’s foot work and route running is elite.

 

[This is Our Year]

I really enjoy his commentary as well. It’s easy to list chalk for rankings, his explanations are interesting when’s he’s talking about prospects.

I remember a few drafts ago he was really high on Alvin Kamara.

 

[Creeper]

I have been reading comments from people talking to NFL scouts and GMs that a lot of the "experts" have it all wrong this year and that there will be a lot of surprises in the draft. Some guys will get picked early no on expected and some guys on everyone's top 25 boards are going to drop deep into the 2nd round. We'll see in a few days.

He's probably going against the grain on purpose to be different...not having Juedy in the top 3 is insane to me.

 

[RS12]

The best scouts hit on one out of two so he is about par for the course.

I have watched a few risers\fallers & sleeper videos over the past few days. Each one makes me think the same thing. There are some really interesting prospects that are getting little to no mention. I definitely think there are going to be some picks that make the average person say "who the he** is that?"

Dude is CRAZY:

Simms’ Top Five QB prospects:

1. Joe Burrow, LSU
2. Justin Herbert, Oregon
3. Jordan Love, Utah State
4. Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama
5. Jacob Eason, Washington


The following are highlights from Simms’ QB draft rankings:

No. 5: Jacob Eason, Washington

Simms: “He is more of your prototypical pocket-passing quarterback. He wants to stand in there and try to throw all over the field. The first thing is, I think that type of quarterback is a dying breed in the NFL…quarterbacks that can’t get out of the pocket, can’t move around in the pocket, make plays off-schedule like that. If you look at all the top quarterbacks in football, they’re all capable of doing that…Good player, I do think he’s a guy that probably needs to go somewhere and sit a year or two. He’s got some potential, but I think he’s got to speed up his release, speed up his feet and just become a better overall athlete…My comparison would be Ryan Mallett.”

No. 4: Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama

Simms: “I do like his talent, there’s no doubt…Am I taking a little off the table because of the injury history? Yes. Am I taking a little off just because he’s injured right now? Yes…I’m not so sure he knows how to get out of harm’s way…He had a ton of talent around him (at Alabama). This is where we have to be careful when we evaluate quarterbacks…He’s a gifted athlete, he’s got great feet, he can hop around the pocket, he’s a good runner…I don’t think he’s necessarily going to be a great runner in the NFL…He’s a natural at the quarterback position, he really does understand it…He is very scary to me, I’m not necessarily sold that the type of style he plays will translate to the NFL…I’m certainly docking him a little bit because of size, injury history and further injury concern…Being in the Top 10, it would scare me with Tua.”

No. 3: Jordan Love, Utah State

Simms: “He has good size, he’s a good athlete. He does a great job of staying in throwing position in the pocket – he’s fearless that way…He can throw it effortlessly…I think he’s a guy that has room to grow. Is he a little raw? Certainly, but I think between his size, athleticism, composure – that I think showed off on film – and then his ability to throw the football. Yeah, I think his game translates better to the NFL than someone like Tua…Listen, if Jordan Love was on Alabama, his stats would look a whole lot different.”

No. 2: Justin Herbert, Oregon

Simms: “I think he’s got the best arm of any of these quarterbacks in this draft…A really gifted thrower allows an offense to open up…Really good athlete, can throw with people around him and, to me, can make the most ‘wow’ throws out of anybody I’ve seen in this draft at this point…He might not be the quickest or the fastest to accelerate, but he’s the fastest quarterback out of all the guys when he opens up…He’s a special athlete that way…I think he has an incredibly high ceiling like Jordan Love. They can be superstar physical talents who I think can take over games.”

No. 1: Joe Burrow, LSU

Simms: “It’s the cleanest film I’ve ever seen from a college quarterback. I’ve just never seen more accurate throws, more proper decisions, more of the ability to read and react in the pocket…Incredibly accurate, incredible presence and pocket poise. He really can manipulate the pocket. For a #1 pick in the draft, I just wish he had a little bit more of a physically gifted arm, but I just think everything else is so damn good, you can’t pass him up…He’s a better athlete than Tom Brady [but] doesn’t have as good of an arm as Tom Brady. He reminds me more of Peyton Manning, honestly. I think he’s more of that guy than Tom Brady. Not necessarily going to wow you with all of these power throws, but the decision making, can make all the throws, and then the pinpoint accuracy to go with it and the size and strength to throw with a mosh pit around him and not be affected. Very, very special that way.”
