There's just so much that goes into all this stuff and the talking in absolutes is just silly to me.

You make a good point, but there is a continuum here on the level of risk that Simmons presents. I don't know what the medicals look like and I don't know the probabilities of whether he will fully recover. However, the more likely it is that he will make a full recovery and be ready to play sooner rather than later, the less likely that he will fall to #31. The less likely it is that he makes a full recovery etc, the more likely it is that he falls to us at #31, but also a much greater risk for the Chiefs, or anyone else, to take him.
If Vereach takes Simmons I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best, but I just don't think the risk will be worth it if he does slip to #31.
