He\u2019s also young \u2014 he\u2019ll be just 21 when the NFL season begins \u2014 and possesses good length.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"317RLo\"><strong>Film evaluation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"tUQktr\">At Oregon, Conerly played against the toughest competition in college football. Even against the quickest edge rushers, he showed he has no trouble getting back into his pass set. He has the length to keep defenders from getting into his chest and does a good job of mirroring them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"INSPVm\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-2\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-2&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1877154563188228111&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2025%2F3%2F3%2F24376012%2Fchiefs-draft-josh-conerly-jr-might-be-the-most-athletic-tackle&amp;sessionId=52748c0887a4ac47d150e80d64122f29928c7e8c&amp;siteScreenName=ArrowheadPride&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1877154563188228111\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"gXdsxs\">His athleticism really shows when he passes on the defensive stunt; he\u2019s still able to recover and lock up the new edge defender.

He sometimes struggles to anchor against bigger rushers or handle bull rushes. Still, he has the frame (and quickness) to add size without sacrificing the athleticism that makes him special.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"oPoWcX\"><strong>How he fits with the Chiefs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"KAWBsD\">Left tackle is probably Kansas City\u2019s biggest need \u2014 and Conerly\u2019s skill set makes him a nice fit for the Chiefs. He would give quarterback Patrick Mahomes a blocker who can scramble with him, getting out in front to block for him downfield.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OOBtLK\">Conerly has one drawback, though: his 33 1\/2-inch arms are just under the 34-inch threshold for the team\u2019s offensive tackles. But many of the best tackles in this draft class \u2014 including Josh Simmons, Will Campbell and Kelvin Banks Jr. \u2014 have the same problem.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"KjMbfQ\"><strong>The bottom line<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"JvQ6VD\">Conerly has the physical tools you want in an offensive tackle. He\u2019s a hard-working guy with a good attitude \u2014 and his natural side is on the left. Despite occasional strength issues, his upside is higher than any other tackle in this draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"83OwCA\">If he reaches his potential, l think the Chiefs have found their left tackle for the next ten years. I\u2019d be willing to trade up to the 23rd pick to get him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does Kansas City have its eye on the left tackle from Oregon?
