Jason La Canfora of Sportsboom<\/a>, they believe Andy Reid will look to strengthen the trenches instead.<\/p>\nThe Chiefs might target an OT in Round 1<\/h2>\n
\u201cYou guys can write whatever you want in your mock drafts, but I know Andy Reid,\u201d one executive told La Canfora. \u201cI know how he thinks. And he knows his tackles aren\u2019t good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chiefs released veteran RT Jawaan Taylor, and while Josh Simmons showed signs of promise as a rookie last season, they might choose to move him to the other side of the line and draft his replacement.<\/p>\n
Considering that, Monroe Freeling, Kadyn Proctor and Spencer Fano could all be in play for the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think it could be Georgia (Monroe Freeling), or it could be Alabama (Kadyn Proctor). Either of those two looks like an Andy Reid left tackle. And the tackle from Utah, that\u2019s where Andy is from. You don\u2019t think he likes that kid (Spencer Fano)?\u201d another executive said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Should that be the case, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Chiefs trade down to move into the middle of the first round, considering that all of them should be available in the 12-15 range.<\/p>\n
Blindside protection has been a major concern for most of Mahomes’ tenure as a starter, so keeping their quarterback out of harm’s way should be priority number one, especially with him coming off the first major injury of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
