Why post something from an account named Adam Sche1FER?

You should work for the Bengals. This is how they roll.

Well, yeah.

The goal is to build a TEAM that can win a Super Bowl.

Everything else is failure.

And when you're doing it year in and year out, you're playing whack-a-mole all over your roster while picking last.

This shit is hard. Veach is doing a great job.

I think they are going to take Simmons and will trade up, giving up a 3rd to get up around 20-22.

Not what I'd do but in Veach we trust

If the Chiefs hadn’t signed Jaylon Moore, I’d believe it a little more.

Trading up to take a guy with that big of a health question mark is a desperate move, and they don’t need to make a desperate move. They have inoculated themselves from it.

I agree with you. I watched the RGR youtube of their mock draft. They basically said the same thing.

Almost everyone has us taking Simmons, Maybe its all a big group think instead of their own thoughts.

I’ve been trying to say it…

He’s exactly the type of player Veach likes to swing on early in the draft.

I just hope he gets to 31, I’m fearful of Denver and Washington.

I refuse to get my hopes up!

In the first? Wouldn't be my preference.

Wouldn't be my first choice, but it's one of the most exciting picks the Chiefs can possibly make.

Henderson would take this offense to an entirely different level, one we have yet to see.

Sassy Squatch 04-23-2025 07:11 AM

I guess. Just depends how the board fall but if one of the upper tier DL or WR are still there that'd be much preferable.

I don't think they'd take Henderson if Nolen, Harmon, or Grant were on the board.

As for WR, I think Henderson is more likely. He's such an asset to the running game and passing game. Between his ability as a receiver and his pass blocking he's just a phenomenal fit.

This isn't a CEH situation where they wouldn't trust him to pass block early on. He'd play early and he'd play a ton.

Charles Robinson said in his article that the top 5 tackles (this include Simmons) should fly off the board.

Jeremy Fowler said this morning that teams aren’t overly concerned about Simmons injury.

He’s gonna go before the Chiefs get a shot anyway

Could be the opposite. The reason they can take a swing on Simmons and not rush him back is because they have a starting LT already. We could redshirt him this year to allow his knee to fully heal. It would be a dream come true to have a bookend LT ready to go on a rookie contract in 2026.

I won’t say I’m torn on Simmons - I actively don’t want him because the injury history on players with patella tears shows that basically 1 in 5 players makes it back to something similar to what they were before. Has the surgery improved in some way? Was his tear partial? Do the Chiefs feel good about their evals? If the answer to all of them is yes, Simmons is a steal at 31. We often talk about elite tackle prospects not being available where we pick. It’s possible that he be the first of his caliber to show up there. Last year, we’d have tacked the 6th or 7th OT but they were all gone even after trading up.
