(0:00) Hello and welcome!
(4:00) LB scouting: Like RBs, should teams stop drafting linebackers in Round 1?
(11:30) #1 LB Daiyan Henley (Washington St): Chris' top LB is also a #1 press conference soundbite.
(21:50) #2 LB Trenton Simpson (Clemson): "Sideline to sideline, he might be the best in the NFL."
(30:00) #3 LB Jack Campbell (Iowa): "He's a pain in the ass in coverage."
(38:20) #4 LB Henry To'oTo'o (Alabama): "Ballhawk. He ATTACKS."
(45:00) #5 LB Ivan Pace, Jr (Cincinnati): "Whoa is he explosive."
(51:30) Robin Hood LBs: Drew Sanders (Arkansas) & Owen Pappoe (Auburn) get honorable mentions.
(55:50) Will Anderson, Jr: If he plays standup LB, where would he rank on this list?
(57:10) Safety Scouting: The free safety/strong safety lines have been blurred.
(1:02:00) #1 S Jartavius "Quan" Martin (Illinois): "He has AMAZING cover skills."
(1:10:10) #2 S Sydney Brown (Illinois): "Can Illinois invite me to their school this year?"
(1:17:05) #3 S Brian Branch (Alabama): "He's as good as it gets in slot coverage."
(1:22:40) #4 S Christopher Smith (Georgia): "No one told him he's 192, he plays like he's 292."
(1:27:10) #5 S Jay Ward (LSU): "True ballhawk, he's always around the ball."
(1:30:45) Robin Hood S: Ji'Ayir Brown (Penn State) is a "poor man's Budda Baker."

A well deserved shower beer is in order, thanks for all the draft content to everybody on the team!

@HarryPalmer-P.I. Год назад

Bud light?

@raheelrazvi8475 Год назад

Simms is for sure a top 5 analyst. Probably number one is his class.

@Bronk0Nagurski Год назад

Jack Campbell reminds me of Brian Urlacher. Im not saying he will be like 54 or be a HOFer. Im just saying he has similar size and agility. I can't wait to see how his career goes.

@shahmir5782 Год назад

Need two separate mock drafts! One of what Chris would do if he was each team but also one of what the prediction is in terms of what the front office of each team will do.

@FantasySportsZen Год назад

I like this idea.

@casecracked8618 Год назад

What a sound byte haha “I gotta crank out 8 or 10 guys or I’m going to be in trouble”…

@larkwyll7351 Год назад

Right or wrong I love how Simms' ranking lists are agnostic to any other outlets or rankings anyone else puts out. I respect him doing his own homework and arriving at his own conclusions.

@bigbuicks64 Год назад

Ever thought of doing a show after the draft on how your ranked players fit with their drafted teams?

@sharonreel8678 Год назад

Omg Daiyan is hilarious. Great kid, I wish him well!

@robrob7140 Год назад

Love how Simms evaluates and breaks down prospects way better than anyone that's out there doing it.... Dude earned my respect during the mahomes draft...

@PStewart1984 Год назад

Greetings from London. Been a big time fan of Chris for a many years. Appreciate your eye for talent and honesty to just say it how you see it. Would love to see when all your top 5 position breakdowns are done, a Chris Simms top 10 pound for pound players in the draft.

@AtlasAdvice254 Год назад

How is branch "not that much of a tackler" when he had 74 tackles this past season and only missed 3 total tackles out of 13 games? xD

@franzdoreza5230 Год назад

Henley 😂😂😂awesome !! Great personality .. if chicago needed a LB I'd love him.. chicago fans and media would absolutely love him..

@BratatoChip Год назад

He identifies as a she/her this season

@tonyrenghini6273 Год назад

I was a year below Henry To’o To’o in high school. The one thing that I always admired was his leadership and his resolve. Very special person

@connormalan7993 Год назад

This dude takes every opportunity to shit on Will Anderson when talking about other positions even 😂

@GKA11111 Год назад

I mean everyone else is acting like he's the greatest prospect ever so

@M.Yigit1992 Год назад

He's speaking facts, people are talking like Anderson is the second coming of the Bosa brothers or Micah Parsons

@SlamTheSlammer Год назад

I asked this question. How did he shit on Will Anderson? He said he’d be by far the best LB prospect. Plus a top 5 edge guy? Seems like that is pretty high praise to me.

@user-hw1qo2mu9e Год назад

I really hope Chris is right. If Jack Campbell gets to the Steelers at the top of the second round I'll be ecstatic.

@TheGifted0 Год назад

Daiyan Henley played QB in HS Also played WR at Nevada

@griffinellison3409 Год назад

I found it interesting he was listed as a pro passer too

@LyricalConqueror Год назад

Love Smith deserves credit getting all these studs at Illinois

@sirblazing22 Год назад

Come on Chris. Ya gotta change how the video starts. “ Who is your favorite butt of all”? Big butts?? Haha I can’t play this aloud anywhere 😂

@BrettKollmann Год назад

I hit 270 players this year. What do I win.

@reezonnsportsnetwork Год назад

when i saw illinois play against wyoming in week 0 i knew they had nfl bodies all over the defense. people slept on them because it was “illinois” but they were great all season long

@hawaiiguykailua6928 Год назад

Always entertaining and great personal breakdowns on what you see. Never apologize or defend for working hard.

@goonercolt7674 Год назад

You will probably never see this but Chris you are amazing at what you do and I want to thank you for not being a part of the sheep. One improvement suggestion is having more Tiers to where Tier 1 is Blue chip, Tier 2 onward to say in this draft we have no Tier 1 or 2 safeties but we got a Tier 1 rb for example

@sophisticatedthoughts...1638 Год назад

I'm in 100% agreement with Sims on His analysis of "Quan" Martin I believe the guy is possibly one of the most underrated players in this upcoming draft definitely top 50 for me. Safety/Nickel DB hybrid that's a freak athlete kinda reminds me more of a physical Byron Jones as far as physical tools go.

@FantasySportsZen Год назад

I want him to play corner and tbh if Witherspoon wasn't there I feel like I'd like him even more, which I know is weird. Lol. He's a little tight in his hips and transitions but he might be really good.

@franzdoreza5230 Год назад

I love Pace.. he's a Singletary type of player. Hits hard, very physical for a smaller guy who play big.. his heart and football IQ are great..'22 he had great production..137 Tackles, 21.5 TFLs, 10 sacks, 3FFs

@glenrobinson10 Год назад

Brian Branch is a perfect fit for the Steelers defence if he falls to #32. They need both a slot corner AND a safety to go along with Minkah.

@franzdoreza5230 Год назад

I'd love Jack Campbell for the bears.. he's got the old school seek and destroy style that works in Chicago..great instincts and football IQ and leadership.. can he learn more edge moves to play a more versatile role? He's not a heavy hitter but a sure tackler.. but very good in coverage because of length and smarts..

@airsoftBlaine Год назад

“Kenneth Murray has been good” WHAT

@chrissnape9537 Год назад

Believe it or not Jack Lambert was drafted at 220lbs

@rjharrold2907 Год назад

It's so funny and him talking about old school linebacker as well as this comment is so funny to me because offensive linemen in the 1980s averaged at like 280 lbs lmao. It was just a different style game and not the same caliber athletically like it changed to in the 90s-2000s and kept evolving. Players are on average both bigger and more athletic in the modern NFL

@rjharrold2907 Год назад

And like he was talking about Banks (I'm a giants fan as well) everything I can find says about 235

@FantasySportsZen Год назад

Whether I agree or disagree on his stuff (I do plenty of both) I love how excited Chris gets about the draft. Thanks man.

@RKGrizz Год назад

I think Simms is being a little generous with calling a few of those 1st round LBs good, half of them have been benched in the past year. I have Henley as my #1 LB too but I expect Jack Campbell to go first.

@sharonreel8678 Год назад

I love To'o To'o! Will miss seeing him on the field at Bama!

@larkwyll7351 Год назад

Simpson reminds me a bit of Jarrad Davis who the Lions drafted our of Florida. If he develops better awareness on the field he'll be special. Jarrad unfortunately was lost often on the field for us and a liability in coverage. If Simpson can be a coverage backer he'll have a good pro career.

@_Yoda_Man Год назад

"Jasmin Davis" love you Chris but you need to get to grips with players names bit better! It did say Jasmin on the list though so guys in the back need to get their shit together too!

@Ramfreak23 Год назад

Took over 6 minutes to actually get into the topic of the post which is this years prospects. Draft review of previous years could be another show perhaps. 🤷‍♂️

@Ramfreak23 Год назад

7 minutes and counting

@GKA11111 Год назад

You're complaining about 6 to 7 minutes of recap? Do better

@sirblazing22 Год назад

Last video!! 😢 awesome job guys!! Less big butt talk…

@BratatoChip Год назад

Glad my bolts got Henley ⚡️

@solarbear8888 Год назад

Chris can you do a draft sleepers show?

@tonyevers2663 Год назад

Simms, noticeably didn't mention Antonio Johnson, Battle & JL Skinner. The consensus on them is 2, 4, 5 respectively. Either way, safety is difficult to figure out, especially without all-22.

@httr94 Год назад

Who tf is Jasmin Davis? It's JAMIN. And he improved quite a bit from his rookie year for Washington.

@rjharrold2907 Год назад

Hes ass

@franzdoreza5230 Год назад

Pappoe is like a Warner/Leonard,,,combo..speed/Power.. with good coverage ability..

@yuhman2894 Год назад

Illinois really had Rondae and Tiki

@anthonyblakely399 Год назад

I like Jack Campbell....I like his speed.....I like his legs 🦵 and calves.....the way he moves his feet. I like his physical body. He's a good fit for the 49ers defense 💪

@yesiam4610 Год назад

off the line LB’s in the NFL that can’t play the pass get exposed, it’s becoming increasingly more mandatory to have playing time. Henley #1 I support completely, but its Campbell #2 simply for the pass coverage. I love me some Brandon Spikes but that build is only working in select packages/assignments sadly.

@poojan21 Год назад

Hey Chris, love the pod. I appreciate that you don’t just go with consensus/groupthink and have popular names that you don’t just buy into hype on. We’ve seen a few be right (Jeff Okudah, Blake Bortles) and a few be wrong (Pat Surtain, Matt Corral). If there is a player in the draft that you may be wrong on, who are you most scared it would be? What would be the reason players like Will Anderson, Brian Branch, or Will Levis would exceed your expectations? PS my mind races when I’m trying to sleep too. I play music with a sleep timer and that helps

@poojan21 Год назад

Also curious, we’ve also seen teams put players in multiple and new positions that you may not expect, like Micah Parsons as a pass rusher and Deebo as a RB. If there is a player in this draft with that kind of position versatility or possibility to be put in different roles, who would it be and why?

@larkwyll7351 Год назад

Agreed on Branch, nickle CB, under-sized, slow for his size and as a nickle cb. Pro game is more about passing than running so a box nickle LoS guy is a pretty niche role for most teams.

@lightxgrenade Год назад

I'm kinda surprised no one has made any London Fletcher comps for Ivan Pace Jr. I don't expect Pace to have the career Fletcher did but you how can you see a tiny but insanely thick LB that is basically a rocket and not think of Fletcher.

@ref233 Год назад

Jack Campbell should be #1

@JeramieW Год назад

Drew Sanders, Daiyan Henley, Ivan Pace Jr top 3 LBs 2023.

@carlofranco6600 Год назад

Chris is too kind those guys look more at stats they dont do much of the work anymore they go to PFF for scouting

@sjoukenauta1278 Год назад

You know that Kwesi Adofo Mensah has links with San Fran, right? And that Kyle Shanahan has always liked Cousins, right? Apart from that, Lance fits the mould of kind of players the Vikings management like and he is from the area.

@FantasySportsZen Год назад

Interesting. Wild, but makes a lot of sense.

@franzdoreza5230 Год назад

It's stressed differently mid in the beginning , middle is harder last syllable is soft . toe"-OTO"-oh. He's not built like the other guys but because he's Polynesian he plays very physical if you've noticed the other Polynesian players… They're always really physical.

@Biz613 Год назад

Damn Will Anderson catching strays 😂 Simms better hope and pray Will Anderson does not become an All-Pro

@anthonyblakely399 Год назад

Jartavius is a great fit for Steve Wilkes 49ers Defense. I think the 49ers draft him.

@rjharrold2907 Год назад

With what pick lmao

@shanem3843 Год назад

I think its a mind numbing take to imagine thinking Zach Wilson has anything going for him that would make a team unsure if they wanna trade him away vs Trey who simply hasnt had his chance yet due to injury and the team he was on having a former starting QB still on the roster when he got there. If I was any of the 31 other NFL teams I would rather have Trey than Zach and its not even really close.

@GKA11111 Год назад

Trey Lance sucks dude give it up

@FantasySportsZen Год назад

Zach Wilson has been hurt AND in an awful, awful situation. Not defending him here but people in general are too anxious to write guys off. Dont know where he is right now but the kid could sling it at BYU. He's too small (like..cough cough ..BY) but he could throw. Trey was always a project. Just sayin.

@shanem3843 Год назад

@@FantasySportsZen See I can tell by the points you made that youre just repeating he same points you hear from people on TV. The awful awful situation where the Jets had the OROY DROY in the same draft, almost made the playoffs in a competitive division with a significantly worse roster than SF AND the one that Mike White played in and actually looked much better than Wilson? Wilson didnt get so hurt he wasnt able to start all season they just didnt want to start him even when he was healthy. Wilson only looked that good his very last season in college, one good season from Lance and Wilson but Lances college season was better. They are both a "project" by that logic only Lance looked good in his few starts Wilson looked awful.

@Jo555hn--g1m Год назад

Bret khollman agrees with simms about brown and branch

@anthonyblakely399 Год назад

I mean....Darn! What a FANTASTIC STORY! Last in the 2022 Draft..Brock Purdy, Mr. IRRELEVANT....right? And comes into the 49ers Miami game wins...and wins greatly...takes the 49ers to NFC Championship...gets hurt. The 49ers lose. Right? And he earns his way to be their guy!!! Their Quarterback!!! Right? And I keep hearing Nick Bosa's answer when a reporter asked him what did he think about Brock Purdy....and he said, "We got us a Quarterback. " And he was absolutely correct. The 49ers got their Quarterback. And it's Brock Purdy. What a FANTASTIC STORY! And Brock will come back like Joe Burrows stronger than EVER!!!

@JeramieW Год назад

Should have drafted Drew Sanders over the DT from Alabama.

@namenotavailable7365 Год назад

Jasmin Davis??????? JASMIN? LOL.

Devin Lloyd got bench for mumba how did he have a good year lol and walker had 100 plus tackles

@ChrisHasak Год назад

Jack Campbell has the Devin Bush bust factor written all over him

@losauce521 Год назад

He had literally nothing Similar to devin bush

@GKA11111 4 месяца назад

You were wrong

@user-dr7md1fm3x Месяц назад

Reviewing this in 2024, Campbell statistically outperformed the two preferences of Simms. The best part is that Campbell is nowhere near a finished product. Simms saw his athleticism in this take but overvalued the other guys????

@icetroll734 Год назад

Guys, i THINK it is 2-ew 2-ew... Thanks for all the work!

@gemillgraham5858 Год назад

Henley is my spirit animal 😅I hope the falcons draft him just cuz he's a dude! 💪🏾

@GKA11111 Год назад

If he falls to us in the second round that would be awesome

@souriyunchheun656 Год назад

Brian branch

@trechasin Год назад

Simms you deserve a better co host the draft guy was better

@GKA11111 Год назад

Don't ever disrespect Ahmed like that again, he the goat

@Jawnderlust Год назад

Eagles are drafting everybody good!

@ericbickford Год назад

Man, I could not disagree more with Simms on who has panned out at LB in the last 6 drafts. Murray, White, Queen have not been good. And especially not worthy of a first round pick.

@GKA11111 Год назад

Devin white has been good you're trippin

@bodhisfattva7462 Год назад

i dont think Chris watched pace in the Tulane game...he was made to look stupid all day...later rounds pace is a good grab but when tulane makes you look bad there is an issue that needs to be addressed.

@GKA11111 4 месяца назад

Ivan Pace was a beast this year. You were wrong, Chris was right

@bodhisfattva7462 4 месяца назад

no what i said is still true. He was made to look stupid by tulane. He would have been a solid later round value...you just dont know how to read and thinks to troll ineptly 10 months later you scrub.@@GKA11111

@robrob7140 Год назад

I don't see how you can call Trey Lance a failed QB prospect...last yr dude played one game in a hurricane then broke his leg in the second game.... How does that equate to a failed QB prospect?

@GKA11111 4 месяца назад

How’s trey lance looking? Lol he’s a career backup. You were way off

@bobthecpaontheloose4141 Год назад

Look I understand if your not a Jaguar fan , so we r down 2de,s and we r taking Brian branch ? U non jags fans keep wishing.

@thawkereynolds Год назад

If I would’ve crashed my car, I would’ve sued this channel because it’s difficult to drive and cringe that hard while listen to the poetry. This is coming from a huge fan of the channel but please don’t do that anymore.

@stevenalexander4235 Год назад

I can maybe see Martin over Branch, but Sydney Brown? No. Misses too many tackles especially for a S. To say oh well hes faster, so thats why is lazy evaluating. He can break to the ball faster but can’t tackle so what does that mean? Also, Brown has been playing for 2 years and has had a DECENT not even good season…every season before this season hes been terrible. Prove im wrong.
