Kansas City Chiefs: 10 college prospects to watch for 2019 NFL Draft
By Thomas Welte
Trey Adams, OT, Washington
It has been awhile since the Chiefs have had a major shakeup on their offensive line. As the Chiefs gear up for Patrick Mahomes’ second season I have to believe they will want to invest in keeping him protected. Trey Adams is the projected top tackle for 2019, but has questions around his ability to play on the left side. Adams checks in at 6’7, and 302 pounds but is surprisingly agile for his size. He flashes good technique and I believe he could be a pro bowl level left tackle in time.
Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State
Andre Dillard is a mid-round prospect who has a chance to sneak into the 1st round, akin to Kolton Miller in 2018. Dillard has ideal size at 6’5 and 300 pounds. Dillard has agility and gets to the second level on blocks. 2018 will be a make or break season for Dillard. It is entirely possible that Dillard is the first tackle taken in 2019.
Dalton Risner, OG, Kansas State
Dalton Risner is your classic Andy Reid-esque offensive lineman. Started his career at center, but has moved to tackle for Kansas State. Risner has graded out extremely well at both positions. While Risner is also listed at 6’5 and 300 pounds, a move inside to guard makes the sense as a pro. I expect Risner to be taken sometime early on day 2.
