The Kansas City chiefs apparently have a solidified strategy before the draft of the NFL 2025. It is clear that the director general Brett Veach, the head coach Andy Reid and the rest of the chiefing leaders are aware of the team’s position needs on an offensive and defensive line, in particular the plated.
As much Recent simulationssportswriter Garrett Podell From “CBS Sports” projects the chiefs adding blind protection with the offensive platform Josh Conerly Jr. at the end of the first round (Pick 31). This addition not only fills their left tackle position, but it also seriously helps QB Patrick Mahomes in the long term.
The Eagles exhibited the offensive plated of the chiefs in the Super Bowl Lix. The left tackle of 2024 All-Big Ten granted the lowest quarter pressure rate (1.6%) during the conference in 2024 (minimum 400 snaps) and only sold two bags on 1,032 snaps of career passing blocks. Kansas City takes care of Patrick Mahomes here. “”

While Mahomes will make the dazzling occasional game on the ground, he thrives in the pocket where he can put his feet and load a specific jet. The chefs, with Mahomes, reached five Super bowls And won three.
When the chiefs lost in 2020 against the Buccaneers and in 2024 against the Eagles, a simple problem was obvious: Mahomes had no time to launch. The pocket continued to break down, and he was forced to continually make balanced throws with the defenders in his face.
Playing in Oregon, Conerly had to face a difficult Big 10 competition. In the conference championship match, Conerly was responsible for arresting Abdul Carter de Penn State, a defender who was also put in the pre -ranking of this year. Thanks to Conely, Carter did not dismiss the QB Dillon Gabriel d’Oregon even once.
As a junior, Conerly authorized only one bag in 494 snaps while abandoning only nine total pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. Conely was appointed first All-Big Ten team in a tackle position, as well as the third All-America team of the Associated Press. In addition, Conerly was appointed an honorable mention All-PAC-12 Conference in 2023. He would make an excellent addition to the chiefs.
