Summary
Josh Simmons has a very high ceiling with plus upper body strength and superior athleticism, but he’s somewhat of a gamble with technique flaws and coming off a knee injury. He moves well in space and can move defenders in the run game. He dominates lesser competition but has some excellent traits that translate for success at the next level. He also has experience and is battle tested with more than 1,900 reps.
About

Chiefs' Josh Simmons: Chiefs select 32nd overall
The Chiefs selected Simmons (knee) in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 32nd overall.
Simmons suffered a torn patellar tendon in the sixth game of the 2024 season, meaning he might be at risk of a redshirt during his rookie season. The Chiefs signed Jaylon Moore from San Francisco to serve as a stopgap option at left tackle, but Simmons (6-foot-5, 317 pounds) now projects as Kansas City's long-term starter at left tackle after dominating at both Ohio State (2023-2024) and San Diego State (2021-2022). The offensive line was a big problem for the Chiefs in their Super Bowl loss, but having Simmons the next time around could make a difference.
