Chiefs thought to be best fit for dominant tackle in 2025 NFL draft, per analyst

The Chiefs have both short-term and long-term questions along their offensive line. They’ll have a new starting left tackle this season in either Wanya Morris or second-round pick Kinglsey Suamataia, and they will have to dish out money to keep Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith.

With that in mind, Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski paired the Chiefs with Georgia offensive lineman Earnest Greene III in the 2025 NFL Draft.

“Both center Creed Humphrey and right guard Trey Smith are set to become free agents after the 2024 season,” Sobleski wrote. “Each could easily reset their respective positional markets. During this year's draft, the Chiefs drafted three offensive linemen. The second-round selection of Kingsley Suamataia is a long-term play at left tackle. Hunter Nourzad is insurance at center. Finally, C.J. Hanson was a small-school tackle prospect who'll provide depth and compete at guard. Georgia's Earnest Greene III covers a lot of bases. He's the Bulldogs' starting left tackle. He earned a nod on the first-team All-SEC Freshman squad. But he's often projected inside because of his (listed) 6'4", 320-pound frame.”

The Chiefs won’t be able to keep everyone around forever - we saw the first glimpse of that with the L’Jarius Sneed trade. Drafting an offensive lineman may make sense, especially following free agency in 2025 if Humphrey or Smith leave.
