There hasn't been dramatic progress in this injury. It's still rare and not many good outcomes.
And I'm not against risk. If you'd told me before this draft that Veach was trading up into the top 10 to grab his LTOTF I'd say "He knows what he's doing. Take your shot."
That isn't what we did. We took a big gamble because we didn't want to trade up. We hoped to get lucky like we hoped to get lucky with Kingsly and all our other long shot LT picks.

The draft barely prices ACL injuries into blue chip talents anymore.
31 other teams very clearly did here.
So either Simmons isn't a blue chip talent or this AINT an injury to be hand-waived.
