Don't claim to know picks like many on this board do but it sure looks like they addressed just about every need mentioned in the preceding months. Didn't have any WTF moments and haven't really seen anyone here on the board saying that either. Plenty of squabbling over this guy vs this other guy but that's expected. I don't remember seeing this much agreement on an overall draft in a long time if ever. WELL DONE (for now) BV

I definitely read it. I just trust the Chiefs medical guys to do their senatorial role of advise and consent and either approve or veto the pick. They think they solved LT with Moore, but with Simmons they might be set for a decade. If he only comes back 80-90% of what he could of been, that's still better than anyone on the current roster except maybe Moore. I guess I just trust the medical guys to know their shit more than most people here. And by WTF moments I was talking about positional needs going into the draft and drafting to fill those, not debate over individual picks.

The percentage differences in skill or speed from NFL stars and NFL never-gonna-make-its is SMALL. Let's use speed as an easy example. If you're a WR or RB or CB or S who runs 4.4, you're fast enough to be in the NFL. But if your speed is 80 percent of what it was, you're now a 5.28 guy and probably not a football player past high school. If your speed is 90 percent of what it was, you're now a 4.84 guy and definitely not jumping from college to the NFL (and probably were a walk-on or fringer roster guy at the college level). Guys that lose 5 percent of their physical abilities are guys that start to slide out of the league. Simmons needs to come back at 95 percent of what he was, or better, to really even have a chance to stick in the NFL.

We need a favorite player pick poll thread, unfortunately as you all know I can’t start threads.
Can somebody start one? Rep will be given.

He wins the "Smeer the Queer" gold medal!
Shows my age ![]() Just not sure he has the size for a long term run. |

Long term run? This guy wasn't drafted to be a 3 down workhorse. Don't expect that. He's a situational home run hitter

That's exactly what we needed. I don't remember the total number but the Chiefs barely had any 20 yard runs, let alone true home runs. Almost all of our big runs were Mahomes or Worthy.

He's similar to James Cook and could eventually become a featured back. Not necessarily an every-down workhorse, but a guy who gets the bulk of the touches, particularly passing game work.

The clips in this tweet especially are awesome. When he sees an opening...BANG he's gone
Royals and Smith are both full of potential |
