Writer Will Lomas argues that Tennessee Titans GM Mike Borgonzi could regret trading defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears. The reported deal sends Simmons and a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to Chicago in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and a 2028 first-round pick.

Lomas contends that because the Bears are strong contenders, the acquired first-round picks will likely fall late in the 25-32 range. Analyzing recent draft history, the writer asserts that late first-round selections rarely develop into foundational starters to aid a rebuild.
