Depth at tackle (via injuries) killed us last year, and we are even thinner at tackle now than we were then. Moving forward, Adding the 17th game adds a 6% increase in the likelihood that a player gets injured - that’s not insignificant. If we have a second tackle we really like in rounds 3/4, take them as depth. A 3/4th round is more than likely a career backup anywase, and a backup LT has value. Rankins and Remmers are both free agents after this year (IIRC - I may be wrong) and counting on Durant or Tega Wango to be NFL journeyman is ambitious.

My personal take...

LT: Jenkins-Foresythe-Rankin
RT: Niang-Remmers

Feels a whole lot more comfortable to me in the event of injury than...

LT: Jenkins-Rankin
RT: Niang-Remmers

Again, not advocating for this to be the route the Chiefs take, but I see value there if they do. I’d rather go OT/DE/WR/LB (in any order) with our first four picks.
Long is a swing tackle who also plays guard. There's no reason to take two tackles in the draft.
