In 2013, the St. Louis Rams drafted do-everything offensive weapon Tavon Austin eighth overall and had no plan for how to use him. There was little creativity. They used him like a slot receiver, and Austin fell far short of expectations.
The Arizona Cardinals do have a plan for Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons, the eighth pick in this year’s draft, but it doesn’t seem like a good one.
Simmons was one of the most versatile defenders, along with Derwin James, among recent college football stars. One of the reasons Simmons was one of the top prospects in this draft was he could fit just about anywhere.
