3. 32. LB. Clemson. Isaiah Simmons. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

I mean what can’t you say about Isaiah Simmons? He does it all for you. He rushes the passer at such an efficient rate that you want him to stay on the defensive line all game, while also being one of the best cover safeties in the entire draft.

Simmons had one heck of a career at Clemson and is now looking to translate that to the NFL and Cliff Kingsbury’s Arizona Cardinals.

The NFC West has been known in recent years for its defensive players making big-time impacts all over the place. Simmons very well could be the next big player coming out of the NFC West that makes a giant impact on the Cardinals with a revamped offense to really be a contender.

With Kyler Murray being in his second year, DeAndre Hopkins coming over from Houston and now Simmons bolstering the defense, the Cardinals could be a big problem for all of those teams in not just the West but all over the NFL.
