22. Justin Simmons, S, Broncos (30)

He keys and diagnoses with accuracy, displaying good foresight and responsiveness. He’s not as skilled at man-to-man coverage as he was in his early career, but he still has fluid hips and moves well in space. A number of teams ought to pursue him. — Mueller, Randy

Additionally, he struggled with pursuit in the NFC Championship Game against the Lions. Any doubts about effort appeared to be allayed against the Chiefs, and Young’s outstanding performance ought to draw the NFL’s notice. The price will determine if he comes back. — Lombardi David
NR. Mike Williams, WR, Chargers (29)
Williams tore his ACL in just three games during the previous campaign. There was production; he was targeted 25 times and got 19 catches. However, his health is a major concern because he has only participated in a full season once in the previous seven years, had back issues when he first joined the league, and lacks the fifth gear and sudden separation that he had earlier in his career. His entire game benefits from his stature; he presents a wide catch radius and uses his body to screen defenders on slants and other inside routes. He can break tackles when sprinting after the catch and blocking, which is another benefit.
