6-7 months is probably the low side of the recovery on an ACL. Let's go 9 months on the high side. That makes him ready to play by November. And frankly, it makes him ready with some rust but also without some of the bangs/bumps that come with 8-10 weeks of NFL play. Even if you have some work-in time, you could realistically and easily have him ready to go at full tilt by December, no? You don't even have to IR him to begin with; he'd be a PUP candidate for the first 6 weeks. Yeah, this team is close. And because of that, you have to assume that we don't need an immediate boost to make the playoffs. What we need is a difference maker when we're in them. Couldn't Simmons be that guy this year? If not, why not?

Dee Ford had a knee injury that kept him out of the combine and stuff. He ended up barely playing in his rookie season, despite being available for every game. |

As stated before it won't matter much because Veach is going to obsess over a prospect of positional value in the 1st round and trade up. IMO, it'll be at the passrusher or LB position.

Tough decision. If it was just the ACL, I'd take him in the 3rd. That domestic shit bothers me though, but **** it's a league that truthfully only gives a **** skin deep. No problem burning a 5th.

Lets not get ridiculous about this. This guy, even with woman beater tag and a torn ACL, is still probably going in the 2nd round.

There's too many moving parts at the moment, but I could really talk myself into taking him at the end of the 2nd. He was debateably a top 10 pick before the ACL/DA issues and the Chiefs aren't going to have an actual top 10 pick for years.
If you can fill a few spots of D with FA for a year, I would take him in the 2nd. If you trade Ford for a high 2nd round pick, I'd take him at the end of the 2nd. |

I'm not convinced the whole woman battery thing really is much of an issue deep down. Ultimately teams just don't give a shit.
He can still contribute a little but as a rookie.with the ACL issue. I'm feeling top half of Round 2 is where he's going. |

I think they should draft, LB, Safety and CB with those picks. We need upgrades at those positions This year. |

The chiefs should trade up to the top of the second and take Simmons. Simmons is a top talent and the domestic abuse incident is old. D-Line is about God given talent and this guy is a top 10-15 talent. Trade up and get him at the top of the 2nd and hope he is ready for a playoff run. The history of the article below is interesting.

I was more asking the poster why they would trade up (probably requiring both 2nd round picks) to get to the top of the 2nd when you already have a late 1st round pick. Just didn't make sense to me to do that. |
