Kedric Golston Agrees With Clinton Portis: I’m Probably Taking Simmons At No. 2

Roughly two weeks out from the NFL Draft and speculation about what the Washington Football Team should do with their second overall pick continues to grow. Initial reports suggested that the Washington Football Team would take ‘generational talent’ Chase Young with their pick. However, back in February as the NFL Combine drew near, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was a strong candidate to be taken at number two.

Then, back on March 25th, Washington Football Team great Clinton Portis told The Team 980/95.9FM’s Kevin Sheehan, “no disrespect to Chase Young, but I would take Isaiah Simmons at number two” when asked what he would do if he was making the selection.

Portis’ teammate in Washington, Kedric Golston, joined The Doc and Galdi Show Tuesday and gave his take as well.

“They’re both generational talents,” said Golston of Chase Young and Isaiah Simmons. “But if I had to take one at [number] two, I’m probably taking Simmons out of Clemson.”

Golston supported his claim by stating that teams would not be able to prepare for a guy like Simmons, who’s versatile and can play position-less football. From an offensive perspective, he deems that teams would be able to limit Chase Young.

“I can chip Chase Young. I can slide away from Chase Young. I can three-step drop Chase Young,” Golston expressed.

“But Simmons, is he a corner? Is he a safety? What is he doing? If you don’t know where he is in this package, then it causes you to take a deep breath and it makes that quarterback second guess what his role is in the defense.”
