Okung had a very good rookie year. Completely shut down Hali in their matchup. The guy will be a very good pro.
Costanzo is not an Okung/Thomas level player.
However, he is a very good offensive lineman that is very smart, has an excellent work ethic, has a very good skill set (hands and feet are very good with an excellent kick step) and is quite athletic for a guy his size. He's got a ton of experience at the left tackle spot in a pro style set. There are worse draft picks that the Chiefs could make and with the top receivers and OLB's likely off the board by the 21st pick and no NT or C (and Wisniewski is not a true center - he played guard for Penn State) worthy of a first round pick, OT will be a very viable selection at that point in the draft with Costanzo being the player with the most upside in this system IMO. (If he is available at that point.) Considering the Chiefs struggles at that position for the past five years plus, a top quality offensive tackle is a very good value at the 21st pick for this team.
Costanzo, Carimi, Sherrod all have extensive starting experience and would be viable picks. I wouldn't even mind the upside of a Tyron Smith there either.
It's the second rounder that is going to present quite the conundrum for the Chiefs front office/coaching staff. There is going to be a lot of players at that spot that the Chiefs could use.
