Josh Conerly Jr. was selected No. 29 overall by the Washington Commanders and is starting to find his footing as a potential starting right tackle, though challenges remain. Conversely, Josh Simmons, selected No. 32 by the Kansas City Chiefs, has quickly established himself in a starting role. His recovery from a knee injury has been impressive, leading to optimism about his future. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid praised Simmons for his determination, work ethic, and ability to adapt quickly to coaching demands.
"I wasn't screaming at him, so I figured he did okay. He looked like he had a solid day, especially for his first game; he's been working his tail off. That kid never complains about anything; he just goes."
Josh Simmons is already making Commanders (and everyone else) pay for overlooking him. He was widely considered among the most prolific tackles in this class, but a serious knee injury suffered during his final season at Ohio State saw his stock take a major hit.
