You can’t have Simmons, but you can have Chinn

Jeremy Chinn, LB/S, Southern Illinois

6’3” 221 lbs
4.45 40
41 inch vert
138 inch broad jump

This guy is a very similar athlete with great h/w/s and the traits to fill the role for any DC looking for a a guy like Simmons. Plug him at WLB and we have a HUGE improvement in coverage at LB.

You can probably get him at 63.

NFL Draft profile projects him as a safety and indicates that he doesn’t mentally process well at all.

If he can’t feel out the game well at safety, it won’t get any better at LB.

So because one person said it, it’s true? There are many people that are very high on Chinn and would disagree. Not a a lot of tape on him, but it doesn’t really seem like that much of an issue from what I’ve seen/heard. He’s a small school guy, so he clearly needs some coaching, but he’s an instinctive playmaker and far from just a measurables guy.

I like Chinn, but the difference between him and Simmons is that Simmons is about 20 lbs bigger than him at 238 lbs.

While I do like the talent, I think there’s so many quality LB’s this year that we just can’t pass on for a safety that isn’t big enough to stop the run.

This is such a good year for us to get a quality LB who can actually run.
