    For DT:

    Cox

    I gotta go with Cox in his prime.

    I think the best in college was Simmons, but he hasn't reached his prime in the NFL yet like Cox has.

    In college, it was Simmons. As far as their pro careers go, it's Cox. At this given point in time, it's Jones.

    I'm fairly certain I saw an article not too long ago from PFF with statistics added backing up that Chris Jones is the best DT in the NFL not named Aaron Donald. It'll be interesting though to see how Simmons progresses.

    Jones currently. However, if Simmons was 100% healthy I'd choose him.

    I agree, Cox had the better college career.

    Imagine having those three in a 3-3-5 defense.

    Boy this is a pickem. Some people forget how dominant Cox was in college. He ran down plays downfield, across field like a safety. Cox put on some weight in pros and lost a step over time. In his prime, Cox is a HOF DT and hard to pick against.

    Simmons has a great motor and great hands. He could turnout to be best before said and done.

    Jones is a bull that takes two to block. Knock on Jones is his motor isn't always running, but when it is, as good as any.

    If you're arguing peak I won't argue. Cox Jr year he was unstoppable. Overall college career I think Simmons was better.

    Probably a good time and place to be. But then again I hope the shadow had lots of sunshine!

    Love to hear your take on basketball with Coach Howland.

    Fletcher Cox will definitely wear a gold jacket one day. Can't say that about the others "comma" yet.
