DRAFT TRACKER 2016

Rotational defensive end best ­suited to play the run rather than rush the passer. Simmons has the size and potentially strength to play end in a 3­-4, but his arm length is less than what defensive coordinators look for at that position. Simmons probably doesn’t have the base or thickness to play inside on a full-time basis as a pro, so power end in a 4­-3 or 3-­4 five ­technique is his best shot.

Good athlete with quality movement skills who doesn't make nearly enough plays against the run or as a pass rusher. His best bet is to pack more muscle on as a strong­side defensive end who can offer backup potential.
