What the Chiefs development plan for Josh Simmons should look like

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Ohio State left tackle Josh Simmons with the 32nd pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday.

I previously analyzed Simmons' game as a part of our On the Draft Board series, and was impressed with what I saw on film. He has fluid feet, a strong base and the power needed to play the position at the pro level. It is clear to see why he would likely have been an early first-round pick if he had been healthy, but the patellar knee injury he suffered in October 2024 will slow him down to begin his professional career.
