The DEF player I'm currently most excited about in the 2020 #NFLDraft class: Isaiah Simmons.

I fell in love w/ Derwin James & Minkah Fitzpatrick for their versatility -- Simmons exhibits all that & more.

As I've said over & over again: modern NFL O's demand strong nickel...
...packages, which I think should become base.

But Simmons never has to leave the field. He has the size, speed, athleticism, pursuit, & coverage ability to handle any situation.

It will baffle me again if he falls *because* of his versatility, like Minkah & Derwin did. But..
...to have 1 player that can wear so many hats cannot be seen as bad thing.

For the #Bills, WR seems like a more pressing need. But if the opportunity was there to grab Simmons, even w/ a trade up into the teens, I'd smash it.

S is a very low-key need now but will be one soon..
...plus he immediately can fill in for Zo at LB, pairs beautifully w/ Tremaine as nickel LBs, & could fill-in/take over for Hyde or Poyer as soon as needed.

How many players can do all that at once?

A dream scenario for this off-season as I currently see it for #BUF:
-Sign Clowney to a huge deal
-trade up (1.22, 3rd, 2021 2nd or 3rd) to ~1.10 & take Simmons
-draft WR in the 2nd - possibly Bryan Edwards.

D would be top-3 in the NFL adding two freak & versatile athletes, & we get a big bodied playmaker for JA.

If JA then had a year 3 leap..😩
Even without Clowney, I see Simmons as a chess piece that would solidify a ridiculous D core of Edmunds, Simmons, Oliver, Tre White. Absolutely gross.

WR is deep enough that we could wait until R2 to address it as well.

Let me know what you think #BillsMafia !
