RaiderForLife Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have a question for the Raider Nation, IMO Isaiah Simmons is too light to start as a SLB or MLB in the NFL In college foot ball he can play either SLB or WLB or SS. IMO to be an effective SLB or MLB he has to add 15 to 20 pounds of muscle or he will be washed out by NFL O-Line men on running plays he will be very effective in covering TE's and running backs and #2WR's. The problem that I see with Simmons is his size in his rookie season. He cannot play SAM OR MLB because of his size that limits him to WLB or SS in our system we all ready have 2 SS that are real good we just have to resign Joseph. We need a top FS.While I really like Isaiah Simmons I do not think he is a good fit in our system. I would Pick Murray at 19 or trade back a few picks and get another 3rd and pick Murphy then I would pick the best SAM or Will in the 3rd with an OG and a FS or RB.

I like him as a talker, but he's not getting enough out of the defense. Bringing in Joyner and Whitehead almost does it for me. They are by far the worst players on this defense. If you replace them with AVERAGE players, the D is already dramatically improved. Well, it's possible the Raiders do GAF even if you don't.

I'm curious how much input Marinelli will have now that he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he comes to the combine heavier. we`ll see...to be continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be irrelevant but most (if not all) of his DTs were 6'0 to 6'3. Gallimore is his prototype amongst top DT prospects. I get what you say, but we signed Joyner last year to a huge deal and he was most definately not a PG CB IMO. There are rumours about how much we would love to have Chris Jones if he hits the FA market, so Kinlaw could be on our radar IMO. Marinelli's DTs are also shorter in Dallas, so who knows, we might stick to the smaller DTs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that's something PG cares about or if it was coincidence. So that's just something to have in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's the SAM, he'll be playing there a low amount of snaps since the nickel is the most used formation. As a nickel LB, he's perfect. Littleton and Simmons would take us from LBs unable to cover anyone to the best duo of coverage LBs in the league. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps with griping which helps with throwing. If you don’t believe me ask Tom Brady. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks Lamb is the best WR in the class and I am leaning that way too. So similar to Hopkins imo. What's the deal with Queen though? He obviously blew up the National game but I really didn't hear much of him before that? Is he that good or are people over rating him because of his final game?

agarcia34 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Seems to be that most where not expecting him to declare so with underclassmen like that they don’t get a lot of attention until they declare. seems like Queen is ranked ahead of Murray by majority of the so called experts. I see the concerns from Murray and understand why they would rank Queen ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
