I thought Simmons looked bummed about Arizona

Probably got progressively more bummed with each pick past number 4

Mekhi Becton could be next

Brown is a beast and was badly needed for our pathetic DL. After getting punked in the run game all season, he is a welcome addition. Simmons made me nervous because the tweener/hybrid defenders don't always translate in the NFL. Simmons is a skinny LB in the NFL and too slow for safety. 

How is 4.39 too slow for safety?

Pushing the pocket is as effective as collapsing from the edge

My thoughts exactly.  I mean, my wife does not even know all that much about him and she saw the film come up and said "That guy is a linebacker?  He looks really tall and skinny?  Not saying he won't be successful but he always struck me as someone who wasn't built to be an NFL Linebacker.  Who knows, maybe he ends up being an insane hybrid type guy in the NFL but it seems like those types never pan out all that much.

Oh lord, not even close... Everyone knew Butler was a terrible pick. Whether you preferred Simmons or not, I think everybody realizes he's a great player

He ran a 4.39 forty.  Faster than any safety on team.

I'd argue its more important. You can still step up in the pocket if the edge collapses. You can't when the Center is pushed back in your face
