2020 NFL Draft: Chiefs land cornerback, offensive line help in 3-round mock
By Matt Conner
2nd round – No. 61 overall – Tyler Biadasz, OL, Wisconsin
Right now, the Chiefs are getting back to full strength along the offensive line, but even then, we’re not exactly sure how quality the line is at this point given the performances all season long.
The Chiefs face some interesting evaluative decisions along the offensive line from front to back. How was the shift in performance going from Mitch Morse to Austin Reiter at center? How is Laurent Duvernay-Tardif playing relative to his contract? Is Andrew Wylie the long-term answer at left guard? How much longer can the team ignore the tackle position and come out okay?
It’s possible that the Chiefs have favorite responses to all of these questions and that’s fine, but the team also hasn’t made any major investments in the line in quite some time. Martinas Rankin will be returning from injury to provide some help, but adding a new contributor like Biadasz would help fix any number of concerns if the Chiefs wanted to change things up along the interior.
Biadasz is making the leap to the pro level with plenty of starting experience at center at Wisconsin. There’s little doubt he could be a day one starter there or potentially at either guard position, again depending on what the Chiefs want to do.
Either way, this is the draft where the Chiefs almost have to make at least one solid OL investment via the draft.
