We currently have one guy on our roster with the frame and the body to potentially play LT in the NFL at a high level. That's Kingsley.
Yeah, the odds are against him since he's from outside the 1st round, but weirdly enough, there are plenty of success stories of guys like him with potential and raw characteristics who end up being good starters.
And he's a year ahead of any other rookies coming out in 2025 with a similar frame and potential to be a great LT. I'm honestly in the stopgap and/or free agent camp because I don't think there's any other way to guarantee safety for Mahomes this season, but if forced to pick between drafting more tackles this year or penciling in Kingsley as the starter, I'd rather pencil in Kingsley.
Like I said, he's a year ahead of anybody else in a weak OT class. And I don't want more Wanyas who don't have a chance of being a franchise guy.
