Chris Simms Crazy QB Draft Rankings


Recommended Posts

Every year Chris Simms has a completely different take on pretty much....   everything.

 

Especially at quarterback.  
 

He almost always goes against conventional wisdom.   And I’m ok with that.   But sometimes I get a sense he's different just so that he can stand out in a crowd.   Maybe it’s just me?
 

I’ll see if I can try to find similar articles about QBs in previous years.

Yeah he does this every year, my list would be:

1. Lawrence

2. Wilson

3. I flip flop on Lance and Fields, I think that is even (3/4.)

5. Jones

He’s a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. I think people just get bored around this time too. After awhile there’s usually an established consensus on most things; who the best QB is, who is going number 1 overall, who the best defensive player is, positional rankings, etc...

 

Sometimes I think people get bored with the consensus and just go against the grain to create néw content. How can you seriously have Kellon Mond over Justin Fields and Trey Lance?

Sims has been pretty good actually. So good in fact that I won't judge him on this until it plays out over the coming years. But as a general sense I'm not yet convinced on Wilson, but I do agree that Mond seems a bit underrated. One thing I like about Sims is that when he is wrong though, he doesn't make excuses. He just admits he was wrong. But when it comes to ranking QBs over the last few years he's been pretty good.

He’s an expert at evaluating QBs not one of the media talking heads that all say the same thing. I bet you thought he was crazy in 2018 when he ranked Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen above mayfield Darnold and Rosen. Or last year when he had Herbert above Tua.

His criticisms of Fields mechanics are warranted which is why he ranked him so low. Wilson is the most accurate QB and throws the prettiest ball so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he’s better than Lawrence.

His comps are

Wilson -> Mahomes, Rodgers

Lawrence -> Luck, Elway

    • One name that everybody on this forum has ignored is Xavier Weaver from Colorado. He's got the right height and runs close to 4.3. I watched pretty much every Colorado game bc of Deion. He is a pretty good deep threat if we don't take anybody in round 2. Good with the ball after the catch as well.
    • Turner weighs about 15 lbs less. Think Ngauake. Do yourself a favor and checkout the weight of the best DE's. There is a power element when you are fighting with a 315-325 LB tackle.    Latu is an interesting specimen. He is not at all ripped with his upper body. With his shirt off at the combine I considered him comparatively whimpy.    And watching game tape his attack I found that I couldn't quite tell why he was so successful. I have since watched him training and had media that I could slow down.   Perhaps because he isn't muscle bound he is very flexible. He does get low with a twist and knee bend and remains smooth. And he does it quickly.  This is Elite.  So i'm watching his attack with his arms and I will describe it like a fierce swim, windmill thing, both arms swinging forward, and it sure looks like the tackles can't time a defense to the motion. Yet he seems to, letting him knock their hands down with precision,, then he instantly drops his shoulder and bends and explodes around them.   He certainly isn't muscled up like the freak Joey Bosa, but against college players it sure looks very similar.   His upper body isn't thick but watching him run through the heavy bags he hits them really hard with a compact motion. He is physical and plays fast.  Let's hope he once and for all allows Ballard to take the dunce hat off regarding DE.  
    • Around the three minute mark, he starts talking about being medically retired by Washington. He got injured, and while he was still working through his options for surgery and recovery, the program told him they were going to medically retire him. Before he got the surgery! He has the operation, then goes out and plays rugby two months after a cervical fusion. That's the Poly way. He had an offer from a pro rugby team in Seattle, but turned it down to keep playing football.    So yeah, it's right to be concerned by the fusion and his recovery, but it's seeming like the medical retirement was overblown because of how Washington chose to handle it. 
    • In fantasy world we could get DeJean with second round pick and trade third and whatever it takes to get Aiyuk. Think that would qualify as a home run draft.
