You can sell me on the other guys dropping, Simmons is an elite athlete, Derrick Johnson didn't have what he has.

Some people think that Simmons might fall because he doesn't really have a position in the NFL. Myles Jack has been struggling to find a home too.

Dude if you go look at the athletic scores, Simmons rates as an elite athlete at 3 different positions.

Myles Jack is actually you know, really good, I wish our LB's struggled like that.

He also broke the news on that ball of shit, Tyson Jackson

And as somebody discovered, he had us trading for Clark last year. But he knows nothing!

I think it's fair to say that King has connections to the Chiefs. He has been right about some very specific things lately.

False

LMAO

If you want to compare a LB to DJ coming out, athletically and all that it's Queen, he's an uber athlete that is a bit undersized and isn't a big fan of taking on blockers as he goes around them and dips under...

It's not ****ing Simmons.

WOW..there's a name I haven't heard in forever.
Like, I literally completely forgot about Tyson. wasn't he like #3 overall or something.

Well, i was here on this board when everyone was screaming that Johnson would NEVER still be on the board when we picked. I was here during the live draft and people were still saying he was long gone before we picked.

A lot of that has to do with the fatalistic attitude of we Chiefs' fans. :D

Over the years we've learned that off the ball LB's don't get picked super high if they have question marks.

This rumor reminds me of when the Chiefs were reportedly willing to trade up for Laquon Treadwell a few years ago. We never got to know if and how much that was true.

In this case, I can believe that Veach and Reid really like Ruggs but the chances that they make any significant trade up for him is extremely slim IMO.

It seems like a trade up would cost something like their 2nd round pick. I really don't see it.

Plus, from what I've read on Ruggs, he seems to bring a bit more of the same that Hill and Hardman bring to the table. It's not like he would bring a new dimension to the offense.

Prove it

They only way this makes sense is if they scouted next years crop of WRs and didn't see anyone they liked.

Veach has shown he is aggressive when there is a player he likes... both with money and draft resources. Speaks, Mathieu, Clark, Watkins...and Mahomes (Dorsey).

Obviously, there is a lot of communication with Reid and Spagnuolo. They know what they have and what they need...

Mahomes is Veach's professional crown jewel...the pick of a lifetime. He is always going to aggressively to supply him with weapons.. which as a fan is fun to experience.

He caught a lot of ridicule for saying "He's the best player I've ever seen" before Mahomes was even starting....so I think there is a little of "prove you wrong" vindication in him.

I think the deal would have to include next's years #32.

This move would free up $14 million next year (not resigning Watkins)...then you subtract an additional 2021 1st round contract. Money is going to be tight in the future...

5 years of Ruggs is, financially, about the cost of a single season of Watkins...there is a chance to get a 3rd comp if Watkins signs a big deal. Chiefs probably arent going to be big spenders next season...

The other boon is the Chiefs offense will be nasty this year....
