LT? Play the guy we just committed at least 1/$22 million to and who's just entering the prime of his career. Guy's essentially holding the same deal that Trey Smith is right now and we have folks acting like he's just some break glass in case of emergency option that we needed to be looking to layer before he even shows up for a voluntary minicamp. At RT in 2026? Kingsley, Morris and/or someone we get and groom through the middle rounds this year. Because ultimately I don't think it's a realistic ask to expect Simmons to start this season. |
As mentioned here before the one thing I really do think gives me hope about this:
whoever said there have been medical advancements is right. Basing all our percentages on whether he can recover and then listing some guys from 20 years ago ignores the medical advancements completely. Is this copium? A little. Either the Chiefs just fixed their left tackle for a decade or flushed their first rounder down the toilet. I'd have been much happier with Luther Burden but I do acknowledge that I'm not sure how else to fix left tackle without getting real lucky. It's the price of drafting in the 30s every year |
My God, we’re still doing this armchair GM shit? Stick to your simulators and STFU, nerd.

Cap issues? What do you think it's gonna cost to keep George Karlaftis? To keep Rashee Rice? To replace Chris Jones in free agency? Because the 1st rounder could've been used to address ANY of those positions. So the reason you be looking to replace Moore in 2027 wouldn't be financial -- the opportunity cost of the pick makes that a 1 for 1 exchanged. It would be talent. If Moore is even an average NFL LT, the correct response is to extend him, not walk away from him. So I ask again, are we really treating a guy who will cost us 1 year, $22 million if we walk away from him after this season or $30 million total if we keep him for 2, like he's some erratic scrub? Because if that's the case, the mistake Veach made wasn't on the first day of the draft. It was the first day of free agency. |
Mark Sanchez had obvious Melanoma on his face and it didn't stop yall from pounding the table...plus he ****ing sucked

You do that by moving up and getting one. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH IT COSTS - YOU SEND 4 DRAFT PICKS IF THAT IS THE COST OR YOU SEND 20. That is how you get a franchise LT OR QB - You either suck balls and get pick 8 or you move up and pay the cost to move up and pick at 8. Quit being ****ing cheap, pay what it costs to get the best LT option out there, and make it happen. Don't play dice, don't buy 3 lottery tickets, don't take 4 fliers with a 7th round pick. TRADE UP AND GET THE BEST OPTION. If that costs 3 first round picks to protect Mahomes you do it. |
It seems like Chiefsplanet is the only place on earth where anybody is deeply concerned about the knee. It gets mentioned elsewhere, but people talk about it like it was a torn ACL or something and move right on.

Because that's the thing -- the folks that said this pick is a waste and this was a dumb decision said it BEFORE the draft. Nobody was sitting on their hands here and then flying off the top rope when the pick was made. We said it before and then it happened. Are people surprised that we say it now? In some way chagrined that we're wasting Austin's bandwidth? CD Fixed his Shit. We can post without fear now. It's always strange to me when folks get riled about about someone who didn't like the prospect of a specific pick being made not liking said pick AFTER it was made. All that happened is that we removed the 'if'. |

Why is it that every other medical staff seems to have passed but us? Why is it that all other teams needing a LT passed but us? What science and earth shattering medical instrumentation do you believe this team has access to that no other team has access to? |

I kind of doubt talking heads who said Simmons is a top five talent but was "dinged for an injury" have really spent a lot of time digging into the precise kind of injury and the history related to it like people here have. It's a legitimate concern. It's a huge gamble. Just because Yahoo gives the Chiefs an A for this pick doesn't mean everything's kosher. We have a lot of "we'll see" ahead of us |
