The Kansas City Chiefs have taken decisive steps to address their offensive line issues, which have been a point of concern for the team. General Manager Brett Veach initiated the process early in free agency by signing former San Francisco 49ers backup Jaylon Moore to protect Patrick Mahomes' blindside. However, the Chiefs reinforced their strategy by selecting Josh Simmons from Ohio State in the draft, indicating a long-term vision for the left tackle position.

As training camp approaches, the competition for the starting left tackle spot is heating up. While Moore holds a two-year contract, the Chiefs did not invest a first-round pick in Simmons for him to remain a backup. With Simmons reportedly fully recovered from his knee injury, he is expected to compete hard for a starting role, possibly even emerging as the starter as early as this season.
