Rory Johnson isn't the guy I'm talking about, though.
The guy I like is Juwan Simpson.
I liked him a lot before the draft. Not on the first day by any means but as a possible pick in the 4th or fifth.
Simpson started 32 games from 2003-'06 and finished with 243 tackles (18 for loss), four sacks and three interceptions. He pleaded guilty in '06 to a charge of handgun possession without a license and agreed to enter a court-based drug treatment program to resolve a possession of marijuana charge. A charge of receiving stolen property was dropped.
He runs the 40 in 4.56 and has a Wonderlic score of 27.
Character concern, yes. It's why he dropped out of the draft.
But he's good good athleticism and a load of starting experience. I think had he not had the off the field run-ins, he's a late first day pick.
