re: Mel Kiper's new big board....where are the Tigers expected to go?

Simon looked pretty awful at times this year. In some games, the other team seemed to prefer passing the ball too his man. It was as if they saw a match-up they liked.

They threw to Simon's man for two reasons. One, we often matched him up with a stud, or else with the number two guy with lone safety help on the other side. And two, because Mills is friggin stud. Simon had a very good year for LSU. So did Eric Reid btw. Simon never had the talent that Mo had, so if you went into this year expecting that, I can see why you'd be disappointed. He was a second team All-SEC talent, and he played that way this year.
