Simmons is a very good player, but would a tall, thinner, OLB who excels in coverage, really help our run defense that much? He's certainly doesn't have the beef to play MLB. How much impact would he have in pass defense? Brown and Okudah are elite players and I believe both of them would make bigger impacts. One on run defense and the other in pass defense.

He is good at both.  I definitely want Brown but Simmons and Okudah are close for me but I think Simmoms would make a bigger impact as I think LB is a bigger need.  I also think Simmons would help our run D as much as it would our pass D as he wouldn't be out of position, taking bad angles and hitting the wrong gaps.  I wouldn't hate a Simmons and Delpit with our first 2 picks.  Even though I feel NT and online are bigger needs but if Simmons and Delpit are BPA when we pick I would love getting those 2 with our 2 1st.  Would get the Thorpe and Butkus award winners and would make our D much better
