“Mahomes is only 29 years old, and already has the resume of a first-ballot Hall of Famer. The 2017 first-round pick has won three Super Bowls, is a three-time Super Bowl MVP, a two-time NFL MVP and has twice thrown for more than 5,000 yards in a season. The face of Kansas City’s dynasty, Mahomes changed the way the position of quarterback is played, turning off-platform throws and no-look passes from reckless to routine. He’s the standard for modern quarterbacks.” - Matt Verderame

Biggest Question: Has the Left Tackle Problem Been Solved?
The Chiefs know that protecting Patrick Mahomes has to be their highest priority. As long as he has time in the pocket, they are going to have an effective offense.
Unfortunately, his protection detail had a flaw at left tackle last season. Kingsley Suamataia was unable to take over the role, and the Chiefs were eventually forced to slide Joe Thuney outside from his guard spot.
Now, Thuney is gone and the Chiefs have placed bets on Jaylon Moore and Josh Simmons to fill the role.
Moore, 28, got a two-year, $30 million contract in free agency this offseason. He has promise, but he’s only started 12 games in his four years as a reserve for the 49ers.
They also spent a first-round pick on Josh Simmons. He’s coming back from a torn ACL, but he is supposed to be full-go for camp.
Ideally, one of their newest additions will prove they are ready to start in Week 1. The Chiefs also have to figure out if Suamataia can cut it at left guard, so the entire left side of the line is worth following in the coming weeks.
