“Certainly, I think Isaiah Simmons, with the versatility he has, will be the No. 1 guy on that list,” Kiper said.
“He can run, he can cover — I mean, covers like a safety/corner, can get to the quarterback. He would be the one guy you would highlight just because he’s the most versatile. He would be the so-called most NFL-ready player.”
Last year, Simmons recorded 104 tackles, seven sacks and three picks.
As of now, most mock drafts have him being selected inside the top five.
