A guy like that isn't going to be there in round 3.
You may end up being 100% right about this. I'm a draft nerd, but you pass me by many orders of magnitude and you're one of the people I enjoy reading most in the runup to the draft.
If Simmons flames out - which is possible - you won't see me ever blaming Veach for drafting him. If you're the KC Chiefs you take this chance because it may never come again without burning a bunch of valuable draft capital, which you simply cannot do when you have a franchise QB like Patrick.
I think we look back 3 years from now in amazement that we got an All-Pro LT with the last pick in the 1st round.
