Lack of 'need' doesn't explain the slide. Scheme fit, or lack thereof, doesn't explain it.
It's talent, injury or a combination of both.
So either we put more stock in the talent than most or less stock in the injury.
We ARE the outliers.

The Chiefs are definitely outliers...no other team has 5 SB appearances in the last six years with the most recent showing their 3-time SB MVP QB get pressured at an absurd +50% clip.
Honestly, who gives a shit why the other 31 teams passed on Simmons? If one of them appears in 5 of the next 6 SB's and wins 3 then maybe then it'll be time to pay attention to their decision-making. But until then, f**k 'em.
For the Chiefs, a team that has been and continues to be built for sustained success, Simmons apparently made absolute sense at the end of the 1st round, especially after their medical staff did their homework plus some extra credit on his knee. That's it and that's all.
