Todd McShay projects 3 Bulldogs going in the 1st round this April
and none of them are Jeffrey Simmons surprisingly.
Abram at 21
Sweat at 22
Jenkins at 25
With Simmons, Fitz, and Green- State likely has 6 players drafted in the top 3 rounds come April.

I knew Jenkins was good, but wow...

So if Simmons isn't projected 1st round, could we dare to dream about a senior year?

Don't do it. He's at worst top 40. I think he's a 1st Rd pick.

That is insane that Simmons isn't considered a 1st rounder. The only thing I can gather from that is because of the amount of QUALITY depth in this year's draft for defensive tackles. That's not a knock on Jeffrey....it's just a reality. You could switch him with any of those other 4-6 top DTs that are draft eligible this year and no one could really argue.

This year DL draft class is ridiculous. That, and his HS mistakes, are hurting Simmons projections. On the other hand the saying about the draft is, you only need one team to fall in love with you.
Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

agreed. I think Simmons is our 1st player drafted. I think he has Jenkins too high. I think he ends up 2nd-3rd round

Had no clue Abram was that highly thought of. Knew he had been at DI and was a big JUCO pickup, but had no clue that he had the type potential that he'd be projected in first round before even getting back to DI.
Also thought Simmons was going to be more like a top 15 pick than a second round pick and certainly a higher pick than Sweat. I though a lot of Sweat's success was due to the attention Simmons required.

You do realize he played and started for us last year?

If I'm Shoop I use this to make sure Simmons has that chip on shoulder. That little extra nudge.

Simmons is the best DT in the SEC. He's going 1st round.
-
Seems to me that McShay is trying to insert some PC in the Simmons' situation due to not knowing anything about what Jeffrey is actually like.
Sorry to stereotype, but it's very ESPN of McShay to leave Simmons off the list.
-
I would love for Simmons to be there at pick #32 for the saints to pair with rankins. Yeah, I'm calling saints to win it
-
Simmons is a DT/NG in a year when there are a bunch of really good DT/NG types. Also edge rushers are considered much more valuable. If you are drafting for an NFL team, you can afford to wait to the 2nd or 3rd round and still get a really good DT without much drop off. It will hurt all of those guys some.

He won't be there. Simmons ain't getting out of the first 15 picks.

Bingo. I'm sure he's left out because of the incident from high school. There's no other explanation. I think it will cause him to fall from where he should be (top 10), but I would be surprised if it pushed in out of the first round. He's just too good and will dominate at the 3 technique this year.

I'm a moron. Got him mixed up with Cole.

Neither Abram nor Jenkins will go first round.
