In the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select Boston College safety Justin Simmons with the final pick in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft
Our 3rd rd pick is Justin Simmons, a big rangy safety from Boston College. He's a center fielder with great cover skills.

I love this pick! Simmons has the size, speed, and athleticism to be a starting safety in this league. He is a ballhawk and a willing tackler.
He can cover tight ends and running backs. Look for him to play in sub-packages for the Broncos in 2016.
