The Kansas City Chiefs spent their late first-round pick on Ohio State tackle Josh Simmons and it's a move that's been applauded in NFL Draft circles. It's not crazy to see why, as the Chiefs have a need at tackle and Simmons likely would have been one of the top tackles off the board had an injury not shortened his 2024 season with the Buckeyes. One NFL analyst who loved the pick was Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, who couldn't help but praise the pick. Breer not only loved where Simmons landed but said that the Chiefs might have found their left tackle of the future. "I think Ohio State OT Josh Simmons landed in exactly the right place to fulfill his considerable potential. And the Kansas City Chiefs might have their left tackle for the next decade." Chiefs fans will love hearing this from Breer and there's a reason Simmons continued to be linked to Kansas City leading up to the draft. It truly felt like this pick was meant to be and now fans just have to hope that Simmons recovers and steps right back
