Simmons and minka

[Jssanto]

Do they have approximately the same talent.? I keep reading about position flexibility with Simmons and I thought that was Fitz Patrick’s strong point as well. Was personality a problem with Fitz Patrick? No need for a long thread just a question I have.

Simmons is a better prospect imo.

I'd say Simmons is more of a LB than safety too.

Oh and yeah Fitz didn't wanna be here.

I keep hearing Simmons being compared to Cam Chancellor even better so...

And chancellor was a basically a linebacker playing SS

 

[Geordie]

Simmons is streets ahead in terms of natural and physical talent, it's not even close IMO.

I watch a lot of Clemson, daughter goes there, he is all over the place...true playmaker. Is he Fitz or better time will tell but he seems like a great kid

Simmons came in at 6’4” and 238lbs at the combine. He started his career as a safety and converted to a LB. Clemson used him all over the field (kind of like Derwin James from the Chargers). Minkah is more of a FS/slot corner hybrid. Simmons will most likely play every defensive snap he is healthy as he can stop the run and cover TEs/RBs. IMO you can’t really compare the two. It’s pretty unlikely we would even have a chance to draft Simmons unless Tua and Herbert are gone at 5.

Great kid is important

They are very different prospects. Both have position versatility but Simmons is bigger and more athletic. I think Simmons has more versatility than Minkah, he’s bigger, faster and can rush the passer. Minkah is probably better in coverage cause he played a lot of corner in college.

If Miami didn't need a quarterback so badly, I'd want either Simmons or Brown.

 

[TeeMoney]

While I love the intangibles and athleticism for this player, he just doesn't have a position. It's hard to say at the NFL level he will excel as a jack-of-all-trades. Could he be a Polamalu?

 

[FSU Truth]

Simmons potential is closer to a bigger Derwin James then Minkah. I don't think he has the same dog in him or the instincts that Derwin does, but he is a freak athlete and makes plays.

 

[foozool13]

Not really the same comparison to me. Simmons reminds me more of Derwin James vs Minkah like FSU said above.

Antoine Winfield Jr. reminds me of Minkah.

 

[Lovethefish]

Aside from QB - LT, C, FS, RB are biggest needs.

Simmons potential is closer to a bigger Derwin James then Minkah. I don't think he has the same dog in him or the instincts that Derwin does, but he is a freak athlete and makes plays.

I believe he’ll be better than Derwin James, who is I believe is also overrated by many on this board.

Who cares? Miami needs to get their QB.
