Some of you are just way too extreme with the anti-Simmons stuff. And I'm just not seeing it outside of CP. I'm starting to think we have some groupthink going on here.
It's one thing to be concerned about the injury and not wanting to take the risk. It's another to pretend he isn't a top 15 talent when healthy that has no business being available at 31 otherwise.

Personally, I think Conerly is a better OT than Simmons when Simmons is healthy, which I haven't spoken much about. I'm not in the consensus there by any means, but there are some who agree. I think Simmons is a bit better in the run game but not as good in pass protection. I like Conerly's movement better. It's close, but if Simmons didn't have the injury, I'd still go with Conerly as my preference.
The very fact that Simmons has the injury just drives him out of round 1 for me. That doesn't mean it drives him out of round 1 for some team that feels comfortable with where he'll be at or even takes a chance just on need alone. I'll be very, very nervous if that team is the Chiefs.
