Daily News | Eagles draft: Will the Birds draft a linebacker amid offseason departures?
, Simpson did a little bit of everything for his defense, from being an extra man at the line of scrimmage to carrying tight ends and running backs up the seam. An explosive athlete with heavy hands to knock back offensive linemen, Simpson has impressive range maneuvering in traffic, is an intelligent blitzer who can discard running backs in pass protection, and stoutly built to withstand the physical grind of football.
While Campbell needs to take on blocks better in the trenches and play with better pad level, the standout linebacker has the physicality, size and awareness to break in as a starter before the end of his rookie season. He doesn’t offer the same burst and explosiveness as his peers in this draft class, but has ideal snap to snap consistency others lack in this class.The talent and athleticism is undeniable when you pop on the tape with Sanders.
