Round 4
120. John Simpson | OL | Clemson
Joe Douglas dips his hand in the offensive line pool again to take Clemson’s John Simpson, who is viewed as an NFL-ready guard.
As a senior at Clemson, Simpson earned a first-team All-ACC selection, as well his as second-team Associated Press All-American, for his play on the National Championship runner-ups.
Simpson has heavy hands; he often knocks defenders back with a combination of upper and lower body strength. If needed, he can play either guard position on the offensive line, continuing Douglas’ theme of positional versatility in the trenches.
