I went back and watched more of Tyler Steen, OT, Alabama. I like him quite a bit, honestly. His arm length is a bit on the shorter end at 33" but he's 6'5" 325 and he's surprisingly quick and shows solid pass sets. I think his one big flaw right now is his inability to latch on and keep the defender controlled. It leads to more slip-off plays in the run game than the passing game but it's something that stood out. Overall though, he's a pretty quality player that I think carries a solid 3rd round grade with the potential to go late 2nd round. He played LT but I think he's fine at RT or OG.
I've been paying attention to some guys that are OT to OG conversions or on the cusp with Thuney's contract going up to $22 million for each of the next 3 seasons. The Chiefs can't get out of it for 2023 but they can in 2024 and it might be something that comes into play.
