KANSAS CITY, Mo.— Chiefs general manager Brett Veach saw the same thing that everyone else saw during the Super Bowl: His team was beaten up front on both sides of the ball by the Philadelphia Eagles in a lopsided and humbling defeat.
He certainly took some swings at rectifying the situation in the NFL Draft.
The Chiefs used the final pick in the first round on Thursday night to select Ohio State’s Josh Simmons believed by many to be the most talented offensive tackle in the draft.
Then, in the second round Friday night, they used the penultimate pick on Tennessee’s Omarr Norman-Lott, who will slide into the middle of the defensive line alongside perennial Pro Bowl tackle Chris Jones.
Throw in another draft pick on the defensive front in the third round — pass rusher Ashton Gillotte of Louisville — and the Chiefs were able to address their most pressing needs before they even reached the middle rounds of the draft.
They also took Cal. CB Nohl Williams in the third round with the 85th pick.

Oregon LB, Jeffery Bassa in the 5th round at #156
SMU RB, Brashard Smith in the 7th Round at #228
