With respect to Simmons, you are all saying the Chiefs are stupid. I don't believe that.
Because if the real calc is 25% then taking Simmons is stupid.
Would need to be at least 50% to make that pick.
That's where I think they are at. How much higher I don't know but I believe our medical staff has a better than 50% calculation on Simmons.

I don’t believe the Chiefs are stupid. I think their front office is the opposite of that. But even Veach and company make mistakes. They have taken players due to “needs” before that haven’t worked. So even though I’m one of their biggest defenders, generally, I still can see mistakes made.
I do think they were more willing to take on risk here. Clearly they view the reward as more likely than I do.
Whether that’s based on hope or more information than we have as Joe Public or some combination of the two, I don’t know.
Maybe Burkholder and staff were able to out him through workouts that measured his full strength and we just haven’t heard about it, and the 225 pound squat thing was a smokescreen. IDK.
