I voted I like it because it's done and hopefully it turns out (nothing I can do to change it). I was intrigued by the Johnson CB who fell for who knows what reason.

Same.

A lot of talent left and even if this pick is a miss we could still nail the draft as a whole. I guess my critique would be Veach can get over-aggressive at times and not get the most value by being patient. If the choice was only over-aggressive or overly-passive I'd prefer to side with over-aggressive.

I don't like it when people suggest that the pick is "risky," I mean all picks are risky.

I like the pick because of the upside it brings. If Simmons pans out, the Chiefs won the ****ing lottery and just blew open their Super Bowl contention window. It's already open because of Mahomes, but if they fit the online through the draft, have already invested in the WR through the draft, think of the cap space thatchy will have created.

I'm excited about Simmons because he's a man, who knows how to play LT. He's a day one starter once fully healthy. But equally exciting is that we have more young developing talent with Kingsley and Morris. And who knows maybe Moore finds a home at guard or RT and we extend him for a reasonable amount. I just like this situation a whole lot better than the hope and a prayer approach last year, which resembled they Skyy Moore and Toney approach to the WR position

I can't dislike it at this stage, because it's a premium position where we have at least somewhat of a long-term need and the upside seems reasonable.

But, it's not what I'd have done. I'd probably have gone Burden, possibly Green. I don't think I'm even astronomically high on either, I think I'd just have been a little more risk-averse with this particular injury.

I'm not sure I buy the whole "if it doesn't work out, no worries, it's the right move" - I mean, it's a defensible move right now, sure, but if the injury doesn't work out and a number of the players picked after turn out to be blue-chip talents, then it absolutely wasn't the right move.

But man, if it works, this and a few others will be funny threads.

This is where I'm at too. Everything I've read here -- by people that I believe know what they are talking about -- is very pessimistic that Simmons will ever be the same player. Even if he's deemed "recovered."

But I'm an optimist by nature, read everything available from Veach, Andy and the team doctor about the state of the injury and am hoping we got a real steal here instead.

So I went with "don't know squat" to cover my bases.

Hope Simmons regains his health but I don't like the gamble (1st round pick on a 300lb lineman with patellar tendon issues).

Eagles traded with us, presumably to prevent a trade with someone else. I would like to know what was offered (assuming it wasn't a bluff by Veach).

With Harmon gone, I probably would have looked to trade back a few spots. Then I would be looking at Tuimoloau or A. Thomas.

Womble 04-25-2025 02:53 PM

Sanders would have been a solid 3rd choice QB.

Balto 04-25-2025 03:11 PM

Simmons OR trade down again.
