Mahomes is about to turn 30. Which means we need to start getting serious about protecting him. He wants to play until 40 least. And then possibly into his 40s. As he ages the harder it will become to absorb blows to the body and maintain his level of play.
The Josh Simmons pick was a step in the right direction. I'd support using the 1st rounder in 2026 on a Right Tackle to protect Mahomes. Double up on the Tackles in back to back years. Give Mahomes a strong foundation at Tackle for the next 10 years.
Mahomes is by far the most valuable asset in the organization. It's time to fully commit to his protection. And that means 1st round investments.
