Most of the OTs in this class are going to need some seasoning before they can play meaningful snaps. That doesn't mean you don't take one even in round 1, but it takes some pressure off and lets you develop a guy a little bit before casting him into the fire.

Even with this signing, I remain on the draft Conerly hype train in round 1. If Jaylon Moore works out at LT, you can always move Conerly to RT to take over for Taylor, it's just going to take a bit of time for him to acclimate. Conerly is going to need some development in the strength and anchor department anyhow but he's got all the other tools you want. If you can't get him, you can look at another project or wait until 2026 to get a prospect.

Well, and/or for that matter, it's too early to give up on Kingsley. He's got all of the physical tools.

While I agree with you on the traits, I don't know if that's a universal thought. Most draft pundits a year ago didn't see him as a LT, they thought he might work out as a RT. That sticks in my brain a bit. The Chiefs have also been pretty clear about their desire to play him at LG, from week 18 through the offseason so far. Most players that end up going to OG from OT don't end up back at OT. I don't recall an instance of it, although I'm sure it's happened in the annals of time.

Unless the Chiefs give me a reason to think otherwise, I'm of the thought that Kingsley will be our starting LG from here on out.
