Powerful interior lineman who proved he belonged in his single season in the SEC after transferring from North Carolina Central. Simpkins is a durable four-year starter with NFL size and guard/center flexibility. His best tape is in the run game, where he pushes defensive tackles against their will and has the athleticism to play in space. He makes good use of his length in pass protection, but he struggles to recognize and adjust to gaming fronts. Simpkins’ size, strength and position flexibility gives him a chance to hear his name called on Day 3.
