It takes a lot for me to assign the word "value" to any player selected in the top 10, but my model views Simmons as the second-best overall player in the entire draft. With a Clemson college resume that includes enough data to evaluate him as an edge defender, slot corner, safety and off-ball linebacker -- and even some reps as an outside corner -- Simmons immediately improves the Cardinals' potential in the very difficult NFC West. Simmons produced 23 pressures on 70 pass rushes last season, which equates to an FBS-best 32.9 percent pressure rate, while his 56.5 passer rating allowed in coverage ranked No. 1 in the ACC amongst safeties (with a minimum of 25 targets, per PFF). For a Cardinals team that allowed the second-most passing yards per game in 2019 (281.9 yards) and made a major move to improve its offense in free agency, selecting a versatile player who can help against the pass makes total sense. Teams are more likely to have to throw late in games to beat Kyler Murray and this dynamic offense, and Simmons immediately changes their potential to do so effectively. Not to mention that Simmons will help in the run game (the Cardinals ranked 24th last season, allowing 120.1 yards per game).
