2025 NFL mock draft ... with a twist! What every team SHOULD do in Round 1 | NFL.com
31 - Kansas City Chiefs
Ohio State · OT · Junior (RS)
Chiefs, you need to get tougher in the trenches. I’m not sure if you’re accomplishing that on the offensive side of the ball by trading away All-Pro talent like Joe Thuney, even if the guard was exposed when he slid over to tackle last season, especially in the Super Bowl. Yes, you signed Jaylon Moore, but he’s just one (relatively unproven) addition. I know Simmons is coming off a season-ending knee injury, but as long as everything checks out, draft my guy Josh here and put him at left tackle, and you won’t have to think about it for another decade.

Yates’ pick: Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas
Kansas City will always be in the business of adding pass rushers, and Jackson has terrific length and plays with one of the best motors in the class. The Chiefs tied for 18th in sacks last season (39).

31. Kansas City Chiefs – OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State
How much longer can they continue to wing it at left tackle before QB Patrick Mahomes really gets frustrated – or worse? Simmons, a large (6-5, 317) and very strong man, likely would have been a top-10 selection had he not suffered a torn patellar tendon last season. He seems on track to be ready for the upcoming season but should easily be worth the wait if not – and that could mean productive time for recently signed OT Jaylon Moore to prove he can hold down a spot on the left or right side of K.C.’s evolving O-line.
Round 1 - Pick 31
Missouri • Jr • 6’4” / 332 lbs
I decided to shy away from defensive line for the Chiefs in favor of an athletic lineman with upside in Membou. There’s some fine-tuning necessary to his game, but he’s put more than enough on film to go in Round 1.

The Chiefs have found a tremendous amount of success in the third round over the years, selecting Travis Kelce (2013), linebacker Justin Houston (2011), the franchise’s all-time leading rusher in Jamaal Charles (2008), two-time Pro Bowl punter Dustin Colquitt (2005), Hall of Fame offensive guard Will Shields (1993), two-time All-Pro defensive back Albert Lewis (1983) and linebacker – and the...
