Here's what we do know, we know he cannot play LT in the NFL at this point. And the Chiefs know it as well, or they wouldn't have gone to the lengths they have, to replace him. But that's okay, if he turns out to be a decent guard, then he was worth it. He'll get the chance, but that game in Denver means nothing to me.

Its what we have to work with. He's starting at LG. Reid has said he can handle that position. Last I checked, Reid decides who starts on his offense.
Simmons's a risk for sure. DJ and others have a legit concern about the history of recovery from that injury. We can all agree that we need a legit LT to protect our moneymaker. Since we wont be picking at the top of the draft for at least a decade, gambling on an injury with a legit LT is the best we can do.
