Bengals, Commanders, Lions leave NFL draft with good classes | Chris Simms Unbuttoned | NFL on NBC 

Chris you were the only guy I have ever heard say Arnold wasn't a top 5 corner in this draft. It was 50/50 split down the middle between him and Mitchell when it came to a lot of draft gurus.

Arnold was considered one of the best CBs in this draft. Most thought he would be gone before #24

Lions fan here. The Bengals first 6 picks were phenomenal. You're getting an absolute monster in Kris Jenkins. You guys should be very happy. The Chiefs have a lot more teams to worry about this year lol.

Lions gunna be crazy with a defense that stops on 3rd down

It seems like the default pundit setting now is to say that EVERY cornerback is best suited as a nickel.

Bengals nailed exactly what they wanted and all within reason. loved the Bengals draft

Arnold and Rakestraw both played mostly outside CB in college Sims doesn’t even give a reason why he sees them as inside CBs

Calling the Bengals picks poor is either complete bias or complete ignorance.

Looks like some of the Lions hate from Florio has rubbed off onto Chris Simms. Almost every NFL Draft pundit had Arnold ranked as a top 3 CB in this draft. But Simms doesn't have him on his top 5 corners list? BH and MCD aren't drink the Kool-aid, but Simms is...Let's see who's right by late next season..

Another guy that is flying under the radar is one of the Bengals 6th round picks the Edge rusher out of Ole Miss Cedric Johnson. 6’3’’ 260 lbs 33.5’’ arms 10 inch hands 4.63 40 yard dash 38 inch vertical 10’ 2’’ broad jump and 25 reps on the bench press. He is a dam good players. And only 21 years old. When he gets a chance he is going to blow up.

Tell me you’re a new bengals fan without telling me.. you obviously weren’t there for the years of pain

Chris, if you didn't think Arnold can play on the outside - they should not have drafted him. THAT would make this a BAD draft for the lions in your opinion.

can immediately tell chris has never watched a single second of rakestraw playing football. hes an outside corner lmfao.

Terrion arnold will kill on the outside. Just one guy I think Chris has wrong.

Who Dey!

Arnold wasn’t one of your top 5 corners???????????

No Chris. Brad got T Arnold because he was his guy. Not because GB wanted him.

Ready for the Bengals to use jumbo sets 😂

As a bengals fan, I would have liked a day 3 running back or guard but overall very happy with the draft

Let's be honest. You can't really grade most draft picks for another year or two.

Right on… Jermaine plug and play… Mims is a monster etc. etc.

Munoz fell to the Bengals because he couldn't stay on the feild in college

Jordan Mailata is exactly who comes to mind with Giovanni Manu

Jermaine Burton played with a running qb if he played with Bryce Young his numbers would have been double

Kris Jenkins was the 2nd best run defending DT in the Country last year and was good at it in 2022 as well. So he is ascending. That nose tackle Jackson that they got he was the 2nd best NT prospect in the draft and they got him At the end of round 3. After Sweat it was Jackson. Is psyched about Jackson I think he is a really good player. RAS is not a big deal for nose tackles. They ALL have a low RAS. For instance DJ Readers RAS coming out of Clemson was 2.01. McKinley Jackson’s RAS is 4.98. That incredible for a NT. That’s almost as good as Dexter Lawrence who is the most athletic NT ever. Oh and I wish they had gotten Cade Stover the TE from Ohio State but Erik All and McLaughlin have the potential to be our future TE1. So disappointed we passed On Stover and Beaux Limmer But I like the guys they got. Oh and I LOVE Cedric Johnson. He will provide some immediate juice off the edge. I think they will have e to carry 6 DEs this year or Cam Sample will Maybe have to go to the practice squad. I would trade him because he is a good player but I’d rather keep him. Ossai is t going anywhere. He is primed To have a huge year.

1000% correct on comments re: Mike Sainristil. An absolute baller!

McKinley Jackson is a 6’2’’ 330 lb Nose Tackle who can push the pocket and rush the passer. Jenkins had a lot of pressures I. College. They are both stand out run defenders. They will be coached they will get better at rushing the passer.

He’s Burton led Alabama in receiving yards and TDs this year. He is only 21. 6’1’’ 196 lbs. runs 4.45 with a 39 inch vertical. Those numbers are far better that Tyler Boyd’s. Boyd ran a 4.58 with a 34 inch verical. What was one of the things Boyd was known for? Not dropping balls. Burton didn’t drop a pass at all last year. Not 1.

If the Chiefs got Mims they would be hailed as geniuses

I ♥the Bengals draft class!! LET'S GO, BABY!!

imagine a bengals vs lions super bowl "battle of the cats" that would be nice!

It's always nice that Simms will cover the Lions, since Florio boycotts them at every opportunity.

The Lions made it to the NFC championship with Cameron Sutton and Jerry Jacobs as they're starting cornerbacks now. Those two are long gone in our second areas twice as good. We went from bottom three to top 10 over this off season. Watch out here we go baby Lions all day

The BC BEAST Gio Manu makes Amarius Mims look small lol, AND tested better 🤪

From a 35-year diehard Bengals fanatic, I thought it was a great draft. Kris Jenkins should know how to be a pro from his father and i expect big things

I like Tyler Davis out of Clemson. I loved Beaux Limmer the center out of Arkansas. He led The combine in the bench press. He put up 39 reps.

Chris Simms at 10:02, " I think they're just lookin at it like, just ya know, like you kinda explained it, just good secondary people, right". Brad Holmes..."We draft the best player available". Go make me a hot dog Simms.

If last year is any indication, Chris not loving the Lions draft is a good sign.

No love for the lions there.

Well it’s fun for all the fans and media to say every pick of every team is good and going to be great etc but it never works out that way

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how great of a screen name SeventhEvan is?

Funny I seen a lot of analyst having Arnold as the top corner some had going top 10

Pac-man jones runied my childhood

My 3 favorite picks of the Lions are there last 2. Both 6th round picks. Mekhi Wingo is a baller at DT and Christian Mahogany is a starting offensive guard from day 1 if you want. He will takes some lumps but after 10 Games of starting he will Start playing better. So they got a day one starter at Guard with their last pick. Wingo is 6’1’’ 295 lbs. which is the perfect size for an3 tech Defensive tackle. Terrion Arnold will be a Pro Bowl nickel CB. I agree with Chris that he doesn’t have the speed to play outside CB in the NFL.

A couple flags against Braden Fiske. He is 24 years old already and he only has 31 inch arms. Exactly 31 inch arms. If you are a d lineman and have arms shorter than 32 inches that can be a problem.

Tell em’ Chris

Who would have drafted Arnold, are you joking? Greenbay, duh. Watch Tom Grossi meltdown over the Lion's jumping GB (like we did last year for Branch) to snag Arnold, and you'll have a better clue there, Chris.

Arnold is a outside guy saben even said it put Arnold on the outside put branch in the slot

The Bengals had a good draft. Now I would have taken Javon Baker the WR from UCF before Burton but the Bengals really love and believe in Burton. I trust them especially when it comes to WR’s. Name The last WR bust the Bengals Drafted. You would have to go back to over 20 Years ago. Amarius Mims is not a bust. He is a future super star. You know in 1980 people We’re all irate that the Bengals drafted Anthony Munoz out Of USC because he was hurt a lot in College and only played 12 games. Yea how did that work out for the Bengals? Mims just needs reps. He will get some This year but even more Importantly he gets to sit behind Trent Brown this year and learn how to be a pro tackle. Trent Brown and Orlando Brown are both huge humans. So is Mims. And I don’t Know if you have seen Mims up close but he carry’s 0 pounds of Bad weight. The dudes body fat is around 10%. He is fucking jacked!! No bad weight at all! And I think they should have drafted that center out Of Arkansas Beaux Limmer but Matt Lee was my next choice. He is extremlu athletic. 9.48 RAS for Lee. Mims RAS is 9.53. But when you are his size you don’t even have to be a good athlete. Just ask Orlando Brown and Trent Brown. They win with size power and technique. Mims had size power is learning technique And he has athleticism. He will be a Pro Bowler or All Pro in the next 3 years. And I also wish they would have gotten one of The CB’s from Auburn but I like Josh Newton too and he was just drafted for depth.

Bengals went off the rails a little in the middle rounds, but anybody who doesn't like their first 3 picks is ignorant

Fiske is 24 already he will be 25 when the season is still going on and he has 31 inch arms.

Well, it takes 3 years. It is a balance.

I like my Bengals but we needed a guard. Erik all is good but he could've waited

Draft value being brought up again with Brad Holmes? Really? Last year’s draft class didn’t teach you anything, huh?

Oh what a suprise, Chris Simms has something negative to say about the Lions. I have a good feeling the Packers were going to take Arnold at 25. Even if they didn't, who is to say somebody doesn't jump the Lions to get him. He is arguably the best CB in the draft, and they got him at 24! I'm guessing the Lions organization did something to you at some point and that is why you dislike us so much? W/E

Sims working hard to take a jab at the Lions.

Why does chris always dis the lions everyone graded detroit no less then a b in the draft most gave them a A

I remember Simms getting into a game for the Broncos and throwing up all over himself. Every time he’s critical of players, that’s what I see. A guy who couldn’t play dead in a Western.

What is with Chris Simms's Hitler youth haircut?!

Mckinnley jackson was an obvious bad pick should have been traded either up or down

Chris Simms betting against Brad Holmes. Lol If I were to set the line on that bet it would be Holmes -1000

@ football picks has obviously got some issues with those type of comments. WHO-DEY!!!

Arnold and rakestraw both in the nickel…since when? I don’t think simms watches any tape on these college kids. Also gb and Tampa would’ve both taken Arnold for sure. Read the room ffs.

A consensus top 10 big board pick who played the majority of his snaps on the outside. 2/3’s of his snaps. Simms is a 🤡!

Please switch teams. Tired of listening to to idiots crying about draft picks.. 31% of first round draft picks get a second contract by the team who drafted them. It’s a complete crap shoot.. That means there’s a 69% chance whoever you wanted your team to pick is going to suck.. There’s like 10 a year that’s truly unquestionable second contract players.. prob less

None of this matters until we see it on the field. Take what the Falcons did and how dumb most people think it was to take Penix. Now imagine Atlanta going on a long playoff run with Penix replacing a injured Cousins and now that pick looks awesome. It's all a crapshoot. A game of inches you might say😂

You can see intelligence isn’t a strength of the Simms genetic pool.

Simms take on Lions draft should be made into a public service announcement warning the dangers of too much bud

I'm literally only listening because it's lions talk in May. Simms is NOT a football smart guy, he is a BSer and loves his own voice. He talks like he is a GM, it's funny.

@footballpicks is a steeler troll DUHHHH

Chris Simms = worst opinions in the NFL

A wash up qb talking about people draft

Chris is a Hater He just mad the Lions whoop the Rams and the Bucs in the Playoffs last year…

F for the Bengals?😂😂😂😂😂😂. NOBODY else has it worse than a B. That's obviously somebody sitting in his basement hoping Bengal haters subscribe. Why don't I ask my 11 yo grandson? 😂😂😂

Mims played 8 games in 3 years. Check out Nick Saban's comments about Mims. Injury prone & no heart. Will be a bust. Needed two picks, 2 & 4 to replace D J Reader. Pick #3 Burton, has " maturity issues", punched a woman. Pick #4 a TE who had major back surgery. Set out a year. Returned in 2023 only to tear his ACL in October. Will not be healthy to play until ? Did not address the Guard position where Cordell has been a sieve & the backups even worse. "Need to coach them up & Drafting for the future". Bengals Super Bowl window is now closed

Bengals flunked the draft for sure

I don't love the Lions draft

Chris Simms was mediocre at his best at QB 🤷

worse haircut ever
