Cowboys enamored with Josh Simmons

[DAL1180]

Agree…but no one seems to be talking about the off the field concerns.

That + injury = I’m out.

What off the field concerns?

 

[jblaze2004]

Yes just what we need an injured 1st round pick. Not unless we are considering trading back at the end of the first round and he is there.

what are the off field concerns?

McGinn wrote of Simmons: "Removed from consideration by one team for makeup issues. Another team expressed serious reservations. 'Kind of a f-----," said a fourth scout. "His (issues) are more football character. He has a complete bull(bleep) sense of urgency, like a total finesse player. Mental is an issue. Lacks power, struggles to anchor. Fundamentals are poor. Plays like a guy that was at a JUCO and just came here."

In fairness those scouts say stuff like that about alot of guys. McGinn's piece is the only place Ive heard character issues with

I question Hunter. I think he can be pro bowl level at either position but not the sure thing so many believe. Carter is the better prospect but still not an absolute can't miss being great player.
This draft has a lot of very good prospects that should reach near pro bowl production. This is a draft to fill a talent depleted team; not find the one guy you need to put you over the top.
certainly not the draft to find a franchise QB

I question him bc he sounds like he might have a difficult immature personality and is going to pout mightily if denied opportunity to play CB and WR. He's already said publicly he would quit football if he can't play both. Cleveland doesn't have a decent QB. What will they do with a rookie diva wr who belongs at CB ?

he is not a finesse player from highlights,intact the opposite,over aggressive sometimes.

I haven’t heard about any off the field issues. What’s being said?

My general rule of thumb is unless they are felony charges/convictions, I’m not worried about it.

Exactly.

Grown men scouting 20-22 year olds and claiming “immature” lol

 

[Cowboyny]

Injury player with off the field
issues.

Pass.

Not buying the interest what so ever, it's draft week where smoke is rampant.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Micah and 12 gets us Josh Simmons.

I am insanely comfortable trading Micah and just resetting the franchise expectations

 

[Chuck 54]

Yeah let’s go OL for 3rd time out 4 first rd picks.

Ummm....only twice in the last 11 years?

 

[CWR]

DeWare shot up all the boards late. This was one of the few cases of someone's measureables waking people up real late. A month before the draft he was I think like #20 on most boards.

Yup and right before the draft I heard we were considering him. BP wanted Spears at the spot, but we took Ware and still got Spears further down.

Maybe, maybe not…you willing to roll the dice on that kind of potential risk AND injury concerns?

For a potential All Pro LT, yes. Without the knee injury he probably goes in the top 5

hmmm interesting. yeah doesn't sound like a good mix for our environment.

To each their own…I think potential all pro is quite a stretch though.

In last year class he’s probably not even a top 4/5 OT and taken around 20+.

 

[Risen Star]

He is a tackle yes

But I was just being facetious because they will refuse to release Steele only to change it all up next season.

You draft Simmons, put him at LT and get Guyton's sorry behind over to RT to get Steele's even sorrier behind off the field.

I'd still take last years Steele over last year's Guyton but thats like a tallest midget type comparison.

And geez, I sure hope that this year's version of Guyton pans out.

smh

 

[gimmesix]

Sounds like we're setting him up to be our injured and may never be the same second-round pick if he makes it to us. Then, we'll crow about what a value we got at 44.
