Today marks the moment when numerous college players’ dreams will be fulfilled as they are selected in the opening round of the NFL Draft.
High-graded rookies from all over The States have converged on Detroit Michigan in eager anticipation that their name will be called out.
Brett Veach will be taking his seat in the war room and will be prepared for the moment they are on the clock.
Moreover, the consensus is the Kansas City Chiefs will be fixated on addressing their offense early.
Wide receiver is one position that the Chiefs need to target and Robert Griffin III has claimed Xavier Legette is their answer.
Patrick Mahomes is expected to receive blindside protection early in the draft
However, Patrick Mahomes’ blindside must be protected and the left tackle slot looks susceptible.
Last season’s starter Donovan Smith has left the Chiefs and joined free agency.
Rookie Wanya Morris is hopeful to be first in line for a shot at being the starter next season but struggled to impress.
Therefore, there is an expectation the front office will draft a left tackle on Day 1 or Day 2.
The 2024 O-lineman class runs very deep and there are predictions that there is solid talent running until Day 3.
One offensive tackle is disappointed that the Chiefs have not spoken to him
One of the highest-rated offensive linemen in the NFL Draft was disappointed that the Chiefs had not spoken to him.
Jerome ‘JC’ Latham, one of the highest-graded tackles in the upcoming draft was caught on film being asked if the Chiefs have had any conversations with him.
In response, Latham shared: “No, sir. Not yet, unfortunately.”
The tackle out of Alabama is expected to be a first-round talent and could be off the board by pick #32.
Veach has claimed that there are very few players of first-round talent
Nonetheless, Veach did say that the Chiefs believe there were only 16-18 players that were first-round graded.
Could Latham not have made his list of top-tier players or does he expect the tackle to not fall to the Chiefs?
The fact there have been no talks between the Chiefs and Latham could be telling.
Mock drafts around the league have the 21-year-old to be snatched up on Day 1 and could go as early as the top 10.
