Round 2 – Pick 63

A. Tylan Wallace – WR – Oklahoma State

If an explosive physical specimen like Marshall, who is a little raw, in the first round wasn’t to your liking, let me offer you the exact opposite in the second round. Tylan Wallace may not have the size or speed as someone like Marshall, but what he does offer is great route-running, excellent hands, solid blocking, and an ability to provide yards after the catch. If the Chiefs wanted a plug-and-play wideout in the second round, Wallace could be a nice option.

B. Quinn Meinerz – Center – Wisconsin-Whitewater

If the Chiefs see Austin Blythe as a stop gap option at center, they may look to find their long term replacement in the early rounds of this draft. Quinn Meinerz would be an excellent option in the late second round. After coming from a tiny school, giving Meinerz a year to learn and develop would be a bonus. At the Senior Bowl, Meinerz looked like he had the athleticism, strength, smarts, and character to shine at center for years to come.

C. Brady Christensen – OT – BYU

Brady Christensen is a bit older with shorter arms than the ideal length to be a prime left tackle target, but his tape blocking for Zach Wilson, who plays a similar style as Patrick Mahomes, is excellent. I don’t know that Christensen will ever be a Pro Bowl caliber left tackle, but I think he has the athleticism and motor to be a dependable starter.

D. Payton Turner – Edge – Houston

Payton Turner may not be a flashy sack machine, but he has a lot of the physical traits that Spagnuolo looks for on his defensive line. At 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds, Turner has the size that Spags likes to move a guy all around a defensive front. Turner could be a strong rotational defensive end to start, and if the Chiefs can refine some of his raw technique, the sack numbers could increase over time.

Now let’s take a look at some third round options.
