The Kansas City Chiefs are in a difficult situation entering the 2024 NFL Draft. They still have several needs, but they could easily go with any of them in the first two rounds. As for wide receiver, they signed Hollywood Brown to the roster in free agency, but they could be facing a suspension with Rashee Rice to begin 2024.

After signing Mike Danna to a long-term deal, the Chiefs no longer need an edge rusher early in the draft. They could also go offensive tackle with their first pick but still have a chance to bring back Donovan Smith. There are so many different things the Chiefs could do in round one.

But we have talked about that enough. Round two is just as important, and the uncertainty there is also looming. What the Chiefs do in the first round has an effect on what they do in the second round. As things currently stand, I'm willing to bet the Chiefs go with either a wide receiver or offensive tackle in the second round.

If they were to go with an offensive tackle, there are three guys in particular they should target at the beginning of day two.

Three OTs Chiefs should target in round 2 of 2024 NFL Draft

Kingsley Suamataia, BYU

On our big board, Suamataia is projected to go in the middle of the second round, but that doesn't mean the Chiefs can't trade up for him. He has already had a top 30 visit with the Chiefs, so there is a chance that the team really, really likes him. The Chiefs have just Wanya Morris, Jawaan Taylor, Chukwuebuka Godrick, and Lucas Niang as their tackles. They desperately need to add another one, and one that can either start right away or a guy who can be a swing tackle and have a significant role.

Last season, the Chiefs had to play then-rookie Wanya Morris at left tackle when Donovan Smith went out. He played okay; he wasn't bad, but he wasn't really good. They need another tackle, and they need one soon. Suamataia could be that guy.

STRENGTHS

• Good straight-line athleticism at his size
• Has a full season of starting experience at both tackle spots
• Rarely gives ground to a bull-rush
• Quick hands & firm grip strength to snatch long-arms
• Adequate pocket range & balanced kick slide
• Plays with patient independent hands. Comfortable punching & replacing
• Finishes blocks on stationary LBs/DBs when he secures contact
• Adjusts blocking angles to wash out slants & clear a path for the RB
• Drives his legs & displaces 3-techs on down blocks/double teams

WEAKNESSES

• Relies on natural play strength to resist power. Never really has to "drop his anchor"
• Struggles to recover vs. late edge speed if he undersets
• Hand usage is still unrefined. Initial punch is often tentative & wide
• Very soft inside hand & delayed recovery. B-gap is easily pried open
• Gets lost picking up stunts/blitzing DBs
• Lacks zone blocking range & body control. Reach blocks are a struggle
• Poor target-location at the 2nd level. For every pancake there's a whiff in open space
• Frequently misses run blocking assignments
• Leans & over-extends into down blocks

Kiran Amegadjie, Yale

Amegadjie may have attended a smaller football school in Yale, but make no mistake—he can play. He's strong, athletic, and super smart, which I guess you have to be when you go to Yale. On our big board, he is projected to go late in the second round and is the 51st-best prospect in this draft.

As the seventh-best offensive tackle, he has drawn comparisons to Ikem Ekwonu and Matt Peart. Amegadjie could go earlier than the 64th pick in the draft, so if the Chiefs really wanted him, they would have to hope that he falls or trade up to get him. Here are his strengths and weaknesses:

STRENGTHS

• Elite length/frame (36+ inch arms)
• Unlocks hips & drives legs to displace defenders off the LOS
• Firm punch, routine inside hand placement
• Patient hand usage in pass protection
• Slide quickness to mirror up & down the pocket
• Can reach his landmarks as a puller
• Violent play style finishes blocks consistently
• Has all the tools to be a high-level starter

WEAKNESSES

• Faced a very weak level of competition. Hardly ever tested
• Poor reach blocker, struggles to cross the defender's face
• Falls off of 2nd level blocks when he over-extends
• Late reacting to stunts
• Ankles seem stiff when dropping his anchor
• Late/soft outside hand could get exposed in the NFL

Blake Fisher, Notre Dame

Fisher is one of the three guys we have talked about who is most realistically available at the back end of the second round when the Chiefs will make their selection to start off day two. He is predicted to go early in the third round.

Fisher is the 72nd-ranked player in the draft and the 10th-ranked offensive tackle. However, a lot of people seem to think that being a teammate of Joe Alt overshadowed just how good he was at Notre Dame. Here are some of his strengths and weaknesses:

STRENGTHS

• Broad, well-proportioned frame with long arms
• Will flash & withdraw his outside hand to neutralize ghost moves
• Knockback pop in his jump set to disrupt the rusher's tempo
• Has a variety of set/punch strategies in pass protection
• Has the flexibility & contact power for a solid anchor
• Stiff inside hand to seal off the B-gap when he reacts quickly
• Explodes into 2nd level blocking assignments
• Above average drive power to widen gaps in the run game

WEAKNESSES

• Lacks elite pocket range to recover from aggressive sets
• Has to open his hips early to protect the corner
• Erratic set depth creates entry points into the pocket
• Staggered base causes him to get folded by speed-to-power
• Allows bull rushers into his frame & is late to access his anchor
• Will get loose with his outside hand & expose a path around the edge
• Often strikes high & lands his punch on the facemask
• Oversets & reacts late to inside movement
• Takes narrow angles to the 2nd level & gets beat to his landmark
• Initiates down blocks with high pad level & struggles to create leverage

The Chiefs will be taking a tackle in this draft, it's just about when they take one. They have plenty of picks to address the situation. If they are going to take one in the second round, these are three guys they should have their eyes on.
