The Kansas City Chiefs were widely praised for their 2025 NFL Draft class. Most people raved about them getting offensive tackle Josh Simmons at the end of the first round, and people really loved the value of getting wideout Jalen Royals in the fourth round and running back Brashard Smith in the seventh round. If critics were looking for something to nitpick, it was typically the selection of defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott out of Tennessee in the second round.
It wasn't that anyone thought Norman-Lott hadn’t shown NFL-caliber upside in college, but his limited number of snaps and slighter frame had many wondering if he was destined to be just a substitutional pass rusher.
