63. Chiefs: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
Grade: B

Boom-or-burst prospect. His 2022 was outstanding, but 2023 was not on film. Burst and especially lateral sliding ability are there. Has hard time locking onto EDGEs and securing them. Slips out of many blocks against the run. Hand work in pass pro can be outstanding at times. Raw but talented. NFL OT frame. Need filled.

I don’t disagree with that review, but it’s a little unrealistic.

Of course, there’s some bust potential. If there wasn’t, then he’d be a top 20 pick.

Having “boom” potential with at least decent film and good measurables/tools is a great pick for that position at that draft slot.

The grade doesn’t matter, I get that. Still, this review doesn’t seem to grasp the reality of picking a LT late in the second.
