(3:30) Marvin Harrison Jr: “Preseason snaps won’t do guys like this justice”

(6:00) Malik Nabers: “Mr. Do Everything. He plays through contact really well”

(8:40) Rome Odunze: “Smoooooth. And he’s shown more explosiveness than expected.”

(11:30) Keon Coleman: “Maybe more than anyone, his skills will be more evident once the regular season starts and he gets his starting QB in there”

(16:00) We know about the speed, but how is Xavier Worthy’s route running?

(18:00) DraftKings: Could Brian Thomas Jr lead all rookies in receiving yards? “Out of all the WRs, he looks the fastest and most explosive”

(23:45) Joe Alt: “He looks like he’s been playing in the NFL for 3 years. His guy rarely makes the tackle, although he doesn’t blow people off the ball’

(26:20) How has JC Latham looked under the tutelage of Bill Callahan?

(28:50) Olu Fashanu: “Impressed with the progress. It was all better than what I saw at Penn State”

(31:30) Troy Fautanu: “He’s the best athlete out of any of these o-linemen”

(34:50) Most pleasant surprise on the o-line: Amarius Mims. “In the pass game, he is immovable”

(40:30) Nate Wiggins: “He’s looked the best out of any CB”

(44:00) Terrion Arnold: “Interesting that they have him playing outside. Would’ve thought he had more value at nickel

(30:45) DraftKings: Most Pass Yards by Rookie

(32:50) Daniel Jones: “He gave the WFAN crowd ammo to say WTF”

(48:00) WTF Is Happening: We rip through some nuggets on the Falcons, Chiefs, Texans, Bills, Dolphins, Jaguars, Lions, Rams, Cowboys, Seahawks, and Bengals

(48:45) “Shocker of the weekend. Are they worried about Kirk Cousins not being ready. That would be the only reason why you wouldn’t play Michael Penix”

(51:30) “Why are the Chiefs the only ones acting like they didn’t win the Super Bowl last year?”

(57:00) “Tua looks as good as I’ve seen him”

(59:45) “Hendon Hooker looks how you want a QB to look in the pocket. I would hope he could become the backup”

(1:00:50) “Rams would be absolutely crazy to go into the season with Stetson Bennett as the backup”

(5:05) WR Rankings reactions - Chris takes a couple of questions about Rashod Bateman and Rondale Moore

(8:20) CB scouting process: Chris reflects on what he learned from his 2020 ranks and what he's looking for when he watches CBs.

(13:50) CB #6 Marco Wilson (Florida) - "Smooth, good hips, but a little lack of burst breaking on the ball."

(16:20) CB #5 Paulson Adebo (Stanford) - "A kamikaze missile. He will hit you."

(21:20) CB #4 Aaron Robinson (UCF) - "He got put in tough positions, but the pure ability is amazing."

(27:00) CB #3 Patrick Surtain II (Alabama) - "He's a Top 15 pick, but I worry about him against the elite speed receivers"

(33:50) CB #2 Tyson Campbell (Georgia) - "A true shutdown elite corner"

(40:00) CB #1 Caleb Farley (Virginia Tech) - "I don't know if I've ever evaluated a corner like this. He's worthy of being drafted in the Top 3"

(48:45) Safety scouting process: Chris is glad he had Antoine Winfield Jr. at the top of his 2020 rankings.

(51:30) S #5 Shawn Davis (Florida) - "He's your traditional safety, a violent tackler"

(54:10) S #4 Ar'Darius Washington (TCU) - "He is THE safety at TCU. I watched him and thought 'Honey Badger'"

(1:02:50) S #3 Jevon Holland (Oregon) - "He can be a free safety, strong safety, big nickel; he's versatile."

(1:07:30) S #2 Elijah Molden (Washington) - "This guy is Jessie Bates. Probably the best open-field tackler in the whole draft."

(1:12:20) #1 Andre Cisco (Syracuse) - "His range at free safety was the best of anybody, which at his size is saying something."

(27:20) Tight Ends: Why didn't Hunter Henry or Jonnu Smith get the tag? What is the only team Gronk might leave Tampa for?

(29:50) Offensive Line: Trent Williams and Corey Linsley are the stars of the group, but don't sleep on Daryl Williams. And please sign Joe Thuney, Bengals.

#AskMeAnything: 2021 Draft QBs

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 19:12:19 +0000

On the heels of releasing his 2021 Draft QB Rankings, Chris answers questions from the homies about his Top 6 passers and others who didn't make the cut.

(24:50) Mac Jones: Are people overlooking his physical traits?

(36:30) Kellen Mond: Why could he be a good NFL QB when he wasn't overwhelming in college? And is there any concern over the track record of Jimbo Fisher QBs? And would he be a good fit with the Steelers or 49ers?

(48:45) Justin Fields: Does he compare closely to Sam Darnold? How easy will it be to fix his mechanics?

(58:15) Trey Lance: Does he compare at all to Josh Allen? Would he be a bad pick for the Panthers at #8?

(1:04:45) Others: What does Chris think of Kyle Trask, Davis Mills, Sam Ehlinger, and Jamie Newman? Are there any mid-round sleepers he likes?

2021 Draft QB Rankings

Wed, 03 Mar 2021 20:06:31 +0000

The much awaited debut of the Simms 2021 Draft QB Rankings are here. Chris reveals his Top 6 QBs of the 2021 class, and as always he is not swayed by the consensus opinions.

(5:15) Freezing Cold Tweets - Before revealing the list, let's remember the (wrong) ridicule of years past

(9:45) QB #1 Zach Wilson (BYU) - "He's got the best arm in the draft. He's clearly #1 for me. Clearly."

(24:00) QB #2 Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) - "There's untapped talent, though he does have inconsistencies in his mechanics."

(32:30) QB #3 Mac Jones (Alabama) - "He is a machine throwing. He's a Top 10 pick, there's no doubt in my mind."

(43:05) QB #4 Kellen Mond (Texas A&M) - "Why is nobody talking about this guy? As a pure, consistent thrower, he's better than Trevor Lawrence."

(51:15) QB #5 Justin Fields (Ohio State) - "He's got elite traits. But he has technique issues that make him a project."

(1:06:25) QB #6 Trey Lance (North Dakota St) - "He's the most gifted runner of the group. But he hasn't thrown enough."

(1:15:45) Tiers - How much of a gap is there between each group? And is there any chance the Jaguars would draft Wilson #1?

(1:18:30) Homie questions - Where would Justin Herbert & Joe Burrow rank in the 2021 class? Is Mac Jones a better prospect than Tua Tagovailoa? And is the 2021 QB class as a whole better than 2020?
