The Kansas City Chiefs’ biggest offseason need was made glaringly obvious after the Super Bowl pummeling the franchise took at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. With Patrick Mahomes’ offensive line getting sliced through with ease, the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback was running for his life.

So, general manager Brett Veach went about his business this offseason and looked to shore up the offensive line. San Francisco 49ers backup tackle Jaylon Moore was signed on a two-year deal, while star guard Joe Thuney was traded to the Chicago Bears as a salary cap casualty. But with Kingsley Suamataia, Wanya Morris, and Mike Caliendo failing to grab a starting role with both hands last season, there are still question marks over the offensive line.

However, in Charles Davis’ latest mock draft for NFL.com, the Chiefs, as we have come to expect from recent mocks, go offensive line, with Josh Simmons of Ohio State coming to protect Mahomes. “This pick almost feels too on the nose, but with the way Philadelphia attacked Kansas City’s O-line in the Super Bowl, scooping up Simmons in this scenario seems mandatory, even though the Ohio State/San Diego State product is coming off injury and the team already signed OT Jaylon Moore,” Davis writes. “Bottom line: K.C. must do everything it can to protect Patrick Mahomes. Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr. could also be in play for the Chiefs here.”

Simmons and Josh Conerly Jr. have been the two names that have been popping up regularly over the past couple of weeks, with the Chiefs not settled on the current options at left tackle.

There was a thought the franchise could address the need via free agency, but that never eventuated, so the draft it is. Related: Why Are Chiefs Critics ‘Jumping Off The Bandwagon’? With either Simmons or Conerly Jr. coming into the mix, the Chiefs will have an old-fashioned training camp battle for the starting role, with Moore no guarantee to win the job from the outset.

For some teams, which avenue they take in the first round is shrouded in mystery, but for the Chiefs this time around, all arrows point to one position.
