I am interested to hear Verdarame's take on this, though. Because he's been the most measured about it the whole time. Very much of the "Man, that knee worries me but he sure does seem to have more talent than is usually available at that spot..."

The rest of 'em...I'm skipping. I know what that show's gonna be before listen to it. A whole lot of guys patting themselves on the back for being right. Okay - enjoy your victory lap.

But I'd like to hear what someone who isn't nearly as vested in the pick itself has to say. Verderame is the only one I can think of who wasn't "Simmons or Bust" over the last month.

He had a pod this morning. Here are the cliff notes:

-Gave the pick a C+
-Acknowledged that Simmons is very talented
-Is worried about the injury on a 300+ lbs player
-They better be right
-The upside is undeniable if they are are right
-They better be right
-No pick would help the future more if they are right
-Matt wanted Burden
-Again…they better be right

He made a great point that today needs to be a great day for Veach. Needs to get 3 guys to come in and make an immediate impact now
