Post-Draft Analysis
In conversations with a Chiefs source today, they said Simmons was a dream target but assumed he would be long gone when they came on the clock. Simmons wasn't gone, and now Kansas City has a legitimate franchise left tackle prospect they normally wouldn't be able to add in the draft with yearly Super Bowl visits. Simmons could have been the top tackle in the class had he not suffered a torn patella tendon in mid-October. The expectation is that he'll be cleared in August, and he'll factor into the team's long-term tackle plans. -- Miller
