31. Kansas City Chiefs
The Pick: OT Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma State

A right tackle for the most part in college, Teven Jenkins told me last month that he’s comfortable playing on the left side. That’s music to the ears of the Kansas City Chiefs, who couldn’t reel in a free agent left tackle.

Jenkins is a powerful run blocker and mean finisher when he gets his hands on a defender. He also has the size and length to be effective cutting off the backside on all those beautiful Patrick Mahomes rollout passes.

Brett Veach could always surprise us with a wide receiver pick here, but Jenkins feels like a match of need and value they can’t ignore.

I called it first!

Jenkins is good but what else is he gonna say? "No I don't like playing LT"?? He just wants to be drafted as high as possible at this point so of course he's gonna say that. The question remains can our rookie LT come in three games into the season if needed? We cannot aford to have a kid who needs a year or two to adapt to playing there so Veach has to think very carefully about this.

I would be happy with Jenkins or Cosmi.

This draft is so loaded with O lineman we are very fortunate. Guys like those two rarely make it to 31.

The Chiefs are going to shock everybody and take Forsythe at 31 aren’t they?

Or find a way to get him in the 2nd round with a WR in the first.

Obviously I’d prefer this, but the former wouldn’t surprise me either.

Nope. I’m fine either way. I’m just dreaming of Marshall in the first and Stone in the second.

Everything will depend on the run on linemen and when it happens. If all the teams who are tackle needy get their guys in the first then the Chiefs will be able to be patient. But if three or more teams don't bite in the first and we find ourselves being able to pick from Stone, Cosmi, Jenkins, Radunz, Little etc then I think it could be risky waiting tbh. IF Marshall or Batemen are there for us though you probably have to take em because the tackle class has way more options.

I have seen a few mocks now where the first OT has fallen to around 11-13.

I think it could be worth trading up to 12 where the Eagles are now if Sewell falls that far.

It gets us a great OT for the next 10 years and stops the Chargers having him.

I do think we need to at least get above the Steelers/Bills who are going to take one to make sure we get the tackle we want unless they are comfortable taking someone like Little in the second round.

A big issue that seems to be popping up during the pro day circuit seems to be the arm length of the tackles in this class. The Chiefs like long arms in their starting tackles, so it’ll be interesting to see how they value some of these guys like Cosmi, Eichenberg, and Radunz who fall under the 33.5-inch threshold that Kansas City seems to follow. Jenkins met that threshold and the team has shown pre-draft interest in him, but he’s the type of player who has picked up steam over the last several weeks. If they want him they might have to trade up to get him.

Mixed bag of sorts at Sewell pro day … Its been kind of a mixed bag for Oregon OT Penei Sewell at the Ducks’ pro day today. Accoring to reports from the Senior Bowl’s Jim Nagy, Sewell came in a tad shorter than expected at just under 6-5, 331 – he had been listed at 6-6 in the team’s program. However, that’s no big deal. What could be a bigger deal, though is the fact that he actually has relatively short arms at just over 33 inches, compared with the gold standard of over 35. Sewell, though, does have huge mitts at almsot 10-5 inches. Sewell also impressed with 30 reps in the bench press, but neither of jumps – 28 inches in the vertical and 9-1 in the long jump were particularly impressive for an elite OT. The first 4 OTs taken in the opening round of the 2020 draft, for example, had an average vertical of around 33 inches. At the same time, Sewell’s 40-time is being reported as somewhere in the 5.1 range. Again not bad for a big OL, but in comparison, Northwestern’s Rashawn Slater, the other top 10 type OL prospect in this year’s draft class, ran the 40 in under 4.9. Same story in the agility drills in which Sewell had times of 4.68 seconds in the short shuttle and 7.70 in the 3-cone both of which would have been among the leaders at the 2020 combine. Again, though, Sewell’s 3-cone time was significantly slower than Slater’s 7.48 clocking in the same discipline. We’ll see how NFL types interpret to these numbers, but they certainly weren’t the blow your socks off type figures a lot of analysts were expecting.

I trust Veach, Reid, and Heck to make a solid choice.
