3 players Kansas City Chiefs need to target in 2021 NFL Draft

The Chiefs offense might produce a ton of highlight plays with their skill and flair at the skill positions, but that doesn’t mean Kansas City couldn’t benefit from adding a brute to their offensive line. Whatever Brown lacks in terms of being a tactician, he more than makes up for with his raw strength and size from the guard position.

Brown is not a lock to be selected in Round 1, but it’s equally as likely that he’ll shoot up draft boards when offensive line coaches dive into his tape. He flashes the ability to move elite defensive lineman out of his path with relative ease. That makes him a terrific asset for Alabama’s run game when they’re trying to establish supremacy at the line of scrimmage.

In fairness, Brown’s pass blocking skills are far less refined. He’s going to need serious coaching at the next level to improve that aspect of his game. That’s why landing with a team like the Chiefs would be so beneficial for his career. They don’t need him to start right away. If Brown is coached up in the right fashion he could blossom into a perennial Pro Bowler down the line.

Offensive guard isn’t the sexiest position to address in the first round, but Reid understands the value of selecting guys who can help his team win in the trenches. That’s why Brown could easily land in Kansas City with the last selection of Round 1.
