The Kansas City Chiefs’ director of player personnel and college scouting Ryne Nutt joined media members via Zoom on Monday to wrap up the NFL Draft. Over the course of draft weekend, the club selected seven new players (who you can read about here) — none more important to the franchise than their first-round pick: Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons.

Nutt opened by echoing the words of general manager Brett Veach — and aligning with the many national draft analysts who graded the Chiefs’ class favorably.

“I’m going to say Josh is one of the better tackles in this draft class,” said Nutt.
