The Kansas City Chiefs continue to wrestle with uncertainty at left tackle following the departure of Orlando Brown Jr. Although the team signed Jaylon Moore, who showed promise stepping in for Trent Williams with the San Francisco 49ers, his two-year contract suggests he is more of a stopgap solution than a long-term answer.
Meanwhile, Kingsley Suamataia has yet to solidify his role, with speculation swirling that he may be better suited for guard. The left tackle position remains a critical area of need as the Chiefs look to protect star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

In their pursuit of a permanent solution, the Chiefs are bringing in Ohio State standout Josh Simmons for a visit, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Simmons, who has been mocked to Kansas City in various draft scenarios, could be the missing piece to bolster the offensive line and ensure Mahomes has the protection needed to thrive.
NFL analyst Charles Davis emphasized the importance of addressing the Chiefs’ O-line vulnerabilities, particularly after Philadelphia exposed them in the Super Bowl. “Scooping up Simmons in this scenario seems mandatory,” Davis noted.
Simmons possesses the traits to be an elite tackle, excelling in pass protection and mobility. Over the past two seasons, he allowed just one sack, showcasing his ability to neutralize opposing defenders. However, his path to the NFL is not without concerns. Simmons suffered a torn patellar tendon last year, raising questions about his durability. Additionally, early in his college career, he had issues with penalties, which may give teams pause.
Still many questions to be answered
Despite these uncertainties, Simmons remains one of the top tackle prospects in the draft. However, the Chiefs face a dilemma: he is unlikely to be available at their 31st overall pick, and trading up to select him would require significant assets.
While Simmons offers All-Pro potential, the Chiefs must weigh the cost of moving up against the depth of this year’s offensive tackle class. Other options, such as Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr., Kelvin Banks, or Aireontay Ersery, may present opportunities for Kansas City to address the position without sacrificing draft capital.
Should Simmons fall to the end of the first round due to injury concerns or unexpected developments, it would be a major steal for Kansas City. But if they need to trade up, the move must be carefully calculated. The Chiefs have shown they are willing to make bold decisions to fill critical needs, and Simmons represents a player who could transform their offensive line for years to come.
As draft day approaches, Kansas City’s pursuit of Simmons will be closely watched. Whether they trade up or explore other options, one thing is clear: protecting Patrick Mahomes is a top priority, and the left tackle position could be the key to sustaining their success.

Prisco’s NFL Draft 2025 grades for each team, including best and worst picks: Bucs earn one of three ‘A’ marks
Getty Images Since taking over as the general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014, Jason Licht's draft picks have been as good as any in the league, yet Licht doesn't get the due he deserves for his drafting prowess.It's time he does. Licht's Bucs had another outstanding draft this year, one of the best in fact. Tampa Bay received one of the three "A" grades I gave out this year. The other two went to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs, both teams doing some impressive things over the seven rounds, including Jacksonville's bold move to go up to No. 2 to get Travis Hunter, the best player in the draft. These draft grades are immediate, so I know they are infuriating for some. But our bosses love them -- and you eat them up. So we do them.But […]
