Can't embed because X is ****ing reeruned, but Josh Simmons said the Chiefs were by far the most interested in him and did the most work with him. So this was probably our man all along.

They clearly did a ton of work on the knee and felt comfortable enough to roll the dice - gotta trust Veach and Burkholder

Cool. A rebooted version of the Jamarcus Russell story.

Yeah, I'm gonna call BS on those rumors if that's what people are reporting.

2026 will be the first chance Simmons has at playing a down in the NFL so we shall see. He won’t play one meaningful snap next season.

30 year old Jack Conklin that also had other major injuries at the SAME TIME?

Try again please!

It's not just a "calculated risk" ... it's a "close your eyes, plug your eyes, hope up and down, saying "not listening not listening not listening"" risk.
Just stop, not even close. Risk, sure, how much more than any other tackle at 32, not much. If he's a functional middle of the road tackle we did great for pick 32. If he's is as good as before we hit it out of the park. If he busts, look at he NFL average for players picked at the end of the first round.

They’re saying he’ll be ready for training camp

Wrong! Your comparing apples to Oranges and it looks like the Chiefs front office agreed with me not you.

And he wasn't the same athletically before the injury. Not as strong, not as impactful.

Yeah, I'll hope they're right, but it's all based on hope.

The massive balls on Veach, man. Wait until 31 to get your guy, and trade back a spot and pick up a fifth rounder.

Zero doubts. This offense is going to crush it. Patrick with time AND weapons. Get greedy and trade up for Henderson now.

Give me another player. Or is there not one?
You do realize that many people will be saying the same thing about Simmons in a few years if this doesn't work out?

"He never was!" Well, you don't know that.

Ha, sorry I thought with the comment about birthday parties you were quoting Draft Day. Definitely not a real story

RunKC 04-24-2025 10:26 PM
Veach said that Burkholder has strong belief that he will by ready by training camp. Veach is saying Left Tackle.

Surely this won’t be a camp battle right? Jaylon Moore was never the long term answer as I thought

Since Super Bowl week Simmons has been following Patrick and Chiefs' Instagram
