With the very last pick of the first round in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off one of the biggest surprises of the night – landing Josh Simmons, the freakish OT talent out of Ohio State. And just like that, Patrick Mahomes might finally sleep a little better.
💥 VALUE. STEAL. MASTERSTROKE.
Everyone thought Simmons was top-10 material before his mid-season patellar injury. But as he fell, the Chiefs stayed patient – and swooped in like sharks at pick No. 32.
🧠 Mike Jones from The Athletic called it a “steal” – and he’s not wrong. Simmons blends size, power, and intelligence like few others in this class. If fully recovered, he’s not just a starter – he’s a game-changer.
🛡️ PROTECT MAHOMES AT ALL COSTS
Let’s be honest – Mahomes took way too many hits last season. The Chiefs knew they had to invest in protection, and Simmons could be the cornerstone of a rebuilt O-line that keeps their $500M man upright.
🏆 THIS ISN’T JUST A PICK – IT’S A MESSAGE
Kansas City isn’t drafting for depth. They’re drafting to win titles. Simmons is the kind of pick that shows you’re not satisfied with “good enough” – you’re chasing dynasties.
