OL
-What’s your bust % for Simmons? Does he play... Start of season? Mid-season? Next season?
Bust percentage: 60 percent. Cleared to play mid-season.
-Do you project Simmons to be better or worse than Fisher?
Worse
-Who starts the season at LG and who finishes the season at LG?
Suamataia to both
-Where does Moore fit into our plans now?
Starting LT for 2025 and likely 2026.
-What’s our "best 5" lineup when healthy?
Moore-Suamataia-Humphrey-Smith-Taylor

DL
-Who’s our starting lineup against the run?
Karlaftis/Danna/Jones/Pennel
-Who’s our starting lineup against the pass?
Karlaftis/Omenihu/Jones/Norman-Lott
-Are ONL and Omenihu similar players?
No. Omenihu is a lanky, power, leverage player, who wins with length. Norman-Lott is a stout, short, quick player.
-Does Gilotte outplay FAU?
Yes, I think so. Anudike-Uzomah doesn't seem to be able to correct his get-off.

WR
-Who’s our top WR this season?
Rashee Rice
-Where does Royals fit into the depth chart?
He's WR4 by midseason and has some valuable snaps subbing for both Rice and Hollywood Brown
-How many passing yards this season?
4800/42 TDs
-What’s the distribution of yards & TDs?
Rice - 900+ yards, 8 TD
Kelce - 800+ yards, 6 TD
Worthy - 800+ yards, 10 TD
Brown - 650+ yards, 3 TD
Royals - 400+ yards, 2 TD
Gray - 400+ yards, 4 TD
RBs - 600+ yards, 6 TD
Everyone else - the rest
RB
-What roles do each of our RBs fill in our scheme?
Pacheco - primary 1-2 down back
Hunt - sub 1-2 down back, main 3rd down back to start year
Smith - packages at first, morphs into situation 1-2 down back and 3rd down back as season goes on
-Is Smith a gadget bust or a Pacheco’esque late-round steal?
Late-round steal
-Can Smith be as good as Pacheco has been for KC?
As good, but in a different way. Eventually better as a 3rd down back than Pacheco as primary.
-Does Steele make the team?
No.
TE
-Is Wiley ready to go this season?
Not until midseason
-Is this UDFA kid going to make the team?
Yes, and will keep Wiley on injured status for whole season unless Gray or Kelce gets hurt.
-Will we draft a TE early to replace Kelce next season?
No. Rely on Gray/Wiley/Briningstool

Please add any additional thoughts worth discussing!

I'm sure my Simmons take will non-popular, but that's the most likely outcome I see right now.

Hope I'm wrong.
