Chris has a good history of ranking prospects 

[Joe W. Namath 5,536]

Running around, making plays, throwing the football etc, I do think Zach Wilson has more talent then Trevor Lawrence.  But size, smarts, leadership etc also play a big role in all of this.

But if you are just watching tape of both these guys slinging it around, Zach Wilson will probably look like the better qb.  

But lets be honest, hes not.

From the bottom of my heart, he is. Where did you get the idea that he's not smart or a leader?

He was also in on Pat Mahomes before almost everyone else.

Most interesting thing about this to me is the three best here went to the three franchises that built around them. 

[maury77 3,064]

Totally Chris, Fields is undraftable at this point, maybe the Jets can sign him as an UDFA.

Well he nailed that one pretty much. Jackson was league MVP , Josh Allen right up there, Bakers good, Sam meh to sucks, and Rosen barely surviving as a 3rd stringer.

 

So maybe this dude know what he’s talking about?

[rayzor 706]

He said he called the success of Lamar and Josh Allen during their drafts and got tons of crap from everyone.  But his analysis of Wilson is extremely positive.  I do agree with everything he says.  Especially the part about wishing he were a bit bigger.   Queue the Wilson detractors!

Also he was IN on Mahomes in 2017: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2705937-simms-spotlight-patrick-mahomes-is-2017-nfl-drafts-most-special-qb-talent

During the 2018 draft I thought he was a joke because all of the "smart" analysts like PFF mocked guys like Allen - and to an extent Lamar. Say what you want about him but that is an impressive track record. 

 

[Beerfish 35,363]

I don;t know if Wilson is better than Lawrence but the gap between the top guys is WAY narrower than what has been put out there for a year or more.  Lawrence was never 'generational'

Also as I have said often, this time next year we will be talking about 2 or 3 guys from college right now not viewed as top prospects who are very worthy.

Simms for GM

 

[Samtorobby47 5,154]

Well then what are we waiting for!? Trade SAM and take Wilson asappp

[JTJet 5,708]

The Wilson haters are incoming. 

They already believe the kid is 5'9", dumb as a box of rocks, and kicks puppies while stealing everyone's girlfriends. 

I bet their excuse for this is that any video of Simms ranking past QBs and nailing it is just a deep fake.

Douglas would have to agree with Simms

[Marshmello 942]

This increases the value of the #2 pick as well.  I wonder how tall Wilson is though. He's listed at 6'3". I doubt he's that tall.

I dont have that idea.  I do believe that trevor lawrence is ahead of wilson in the smarts, leadership, size categories.

[PS17 83,067]

Simms has been the best QB evaluator in recent years. Seems to do his own analysis and not get caught up in the echo chamber consensus rankings. Refreshing.

I don’t know, it kind of is.

I specifically remember him doing a livestream during that ‘18 draft and him screaming for the Jets to draft Rosen at #3 but then saying that Darnold was a solid choice.

It is pretty good how accurate his rankings have been.  Especially 2018!

Yes, he should have kept those rankings just for himself, family and close friends.
