With Rhule does our interest in Simmons change?

So while trying to find some info on Rhules likely DC, Phil Snow, I found this article that talked about how the Baylor team changed their defensive alignment last year.

https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2019/08/08/baylor-football-why-bears-are-experimenting-with-three-man-defensive-front?ref=article_preview_title

Seems like they ran a lot of 3-3-5, basically nickel out of a three man front.  Article talks about the third safety, which they call "Robber", being important.  Seems like a natural fit for Simmons.  

I also think Brown has to be in heavy consideration also.

Baylor ran a 3-4 Base 

But as you see a Lot of NFL teams do, due to the way the league is going to more passing, they played a lot of nickel packages.

95% of teams in the Big12 run 4+ WR sets.  You have to be able to scheme and match to your opponent.

We ran a 3-3-5 a lot of times this year when we went to a nickel. All that means is 3 linemen, 3 linebackers and 5 DBs/safeties. Since Irvin and Burns were linebackers, anytime they were in there along with 3 down linemen and 5 DBs/safeties we are in essence running a 3-3-5.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
