The Cardinals struck it rich in the first round with Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons. He will have company in the linebacker corps with sixth-rounder Evan Weaver. The Cal product enters the NFL fresh off a consensus All-American season as a senior, in which he led the country with 182 tackles and added 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. Weaver may also have the quote of the draft: “I hit people as hard as I possibly can. (I like) really taking the soul out of people. Once you get in the third, fourth quarter, they don’t want to play anymore, because they just don’t want to hang with you.”
