I absolutely did not want this pick.
That said, the Chiefs HAVE to figure this position out. It’s costing us titles. A player of Simmons’ talent will never fall this low again. Is it a risk? Yes - 10 other teams would have taken him if they thought he was a sure thing. But continuing the dynasty will involve some risks and this is one the team was willing to take. So in that sense, I understand it and love it. If he’s healthy, it’s a home run and that’s a huge win from the 31st slot plus a 5th rounder.
