The narrative that the Chiefs forced the Simmons pick and overlooked his medicals seems to contradicted by the evaluation timeline that Veach described yesterday.
The Chiefs started to do a deep dive into his medical history at the Combine, with considerable follow up by Burkholder after that.
That all started taking place before the start of free agency, so the Chiefs still had another option (free agency/trade) to address LT, if they saw that Simmons’ medicals were too much of a red flag.
This is a calculated risk, but not desperation.
