Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread

[Big C]

Kevin Simon
Height: 5-10 | Weight: 235 | 40-Time: 4.91

Official Bio

Strengths:
Flies around the field and makes plays sideline-to-sideline...Very instinctive and always manages to be around the action...Excellent athlete with very good speed...Does a solid job when dropping into coverage...Explosive and a sure tackler...Versatile and can play multiple positions...Still has some upside since he has missed a lot of action...Could be had at a bargain point in the draft.

Weaknesses:
Has some major durability issues and has essentially missed three full seasons due to two knee injuries and an ankle surgery...Is vastly undersized for the position...Will have trouble taking on and shedding blockers...Is very confident to the point that it is bordering on cocky...Will be a risky pick and has a very high bust factor...Will need to be cleared by each teams medical personnel.

Notes:
Could project to either inside or weakside linebacker at the pro level...When healthy no one disputes his talent and ability, but to this point that is a 50/50 proposition with him...If he can stay on the field some team may have a steal, but he is very much a boom or bust type of prospect...Let the buyer beware.

only knock is his height, everything else is a ok

[SKINSnCANES]

here it goes, i bet the raiders take vick...

al davis has a hard on for fast players.

[EXoffender]

...and his health

[PSUskinsfan11]

ummm what about his 4.9 speed???
or the fact that he's 5'10"

If we are taking a MLB here why would they not look at Kai Parham from UVA. He was very productive in college and if they obviously aren't worried about speed he would be a much better pick.

Parham has been a highly regarded prospect since his AAU days. However he didn't continue to develop. He's always had the body. And I thought he would be given a look by the 3-4 teams.

aka not Marc Vick

i'm surprised no one went with a 7th on him. chris simms is a bum but plays for the bucs cuz he's phil simms's son

[That Guy]

a WR from maine (mcmahon?) was #255.

sims isn't a bum by any means, and marcus vick is a total loser. he won't take blame, he thinks he's WAY better than he actually is and he has had extensive off field incidents.

extensive is almost an understatement with ma. vick...chris simms still a bum
