This is the newest chiefs planet great "debate" ......I love it!

Nuh uh!

False equivalence. Good thing you weren’t on the debate team.

That Ohio state RB had better be there tomorrow. Sounds like we can really use a RB that can take one to the house.

So the reports about his film being the best in the class is false?

He played half a season against a non-con slate.

Wow.

Couldn't he already be juicing? Lol

Only reason to like the pick is you can't really argue against Reid and Veach running personnel in the aggregate since KC has seven AFCCG appearances and three rings.


In a vacuum, however?

If you told me you'd pay me $1,000,000 if I picked a future HOFer from the 32 players selected tonight, and I could select five players from the group, Josh Simmons would have absolutely been one of my selections. His upside if healthy is best offensive lineman in the entire draft. If it doesnt work out, so be it.

We were never going to draft a franchise left tackle without taking a risk like this. This game of musical chairs would have gone on for the rest of Reid's tenure and Mahomes' career.

He just did. Historical data on the injury in the NFL doesn't change just because Veach or because Burkholder.

Veach admitted that Burkholder cringed when he first heard what the injury was. That should be telling. Burkholder's opinion is that the recovery "looks like a best-case scenario," but that doesn't mean that those odds suddenly disappear. It doesn't mean with absolution that he will work out to be a great player. Veach just has to damn well hope it is that best-case scenario that plays out in the end.

Would it be masterful if that scenario does play out and they do end up with a phenomenal tackle at pick 32? Sure, that'd be amazing.

There is an insane amount of risk at play here, far more than you'd consider normal. It's actually much worse than when people were clamoring for guys with Achilles ruptures a couple of years back, and the data screamed not to do it. Coincidentally, neither of those players has lived up to their scouting grades because of those injuries.

Players that suffer a leg injury and play with a peg leg is about as rare as Simmons injury at his age/position.

LMAO

But bro he dominated Akron!

I'm all for it. Load up on that deer antler spray.

look at the losers in this thread doubting the architects of our world famous dynasty

He better be
