I can't believe after that disastrous super bowl that people are banking on Jaylon Moore to protect Mahomes...

Most teams can’t find two quality tackles at once as we know, but really, there’s no position it’s more important to have a quality depth guy at than OT.
We were truly one unlucky break away from being right back where we were last year. A Jaylon Moore injury, no matter how good he becomes, ends your season if Wanya is the next man up. |

We don't need Simmons to return with NBA athleticism. He already is an incredible technical player, just knows how to play tackle. He just needs to come back decently enough and he's a star.

Knee and back injuries to big guys are worse. Much worse. They carry more weight and absorb more punishment.

Even if he doesn't turn out to be the greatest LT in the universe, life will go on.

You know if the graft didn't take. Or if it yielded a bunch of scar tissue that obviously compromised the joint. But every pitcher that ever returned to a mound had a 'successful' surgery first, even if they're throwing 10 mph less than they used to. A successful surgery is the first, easiest hurdle to clear.

So depth needed to be a first rounder? That;s what we're going with?

AI has parameters set on their search. Its only 100% accurate when its following those parameters. Especially Grok. Its known as the lamest AI being used by a legit IT based company.

The fact that he is a freak athlete and good mover is why he shouldn't have a steep learning curve.

Had we done that this risky pick wouldn't even bother me as much - we'd have a solid answer if it does take time to heal.

Now, you have true competition for Taylor when he knows his ass is going to be cut next year. He needs to put some better tape out there if he wants to land another deal. So, he either steps up or Moore takes his job. Either way, you now have three starting caliber tackles when you ended last season with barely even one in Taylor. The more time that passes, it's obvious this was the one and only choice, and I bet the Chiefs are freaking thrilled. There will be plenty of RBs, DL and WRs who can contribute day one in rounds 2-3, the same cannot be said for OTs. It wasn't just the right pick, it was the only pick. |

If Jaylon Moore is an average LT, he has probably 6 years or so at that level. That's the bulk of PMs remaining career. That's as 'long-term' as it gets. We may already have one. And like I said, presuming coin-flip odds for both guys, all you've really done is improve your odds by about 25% by taking Simmons anyway. That's a whole lot of risk you're taking for a marginal return.
