The most famous draftnik in the world, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., just dropped his first mock draft of the 2024 cycle. In it, he gave the Green Bay Packers a high-upside bookend prospect who has been a notable name in football since he was a high schooler: BYU’s Kingsley Suamataia.
As a prep from Utah, Suamataia was graded as a five-star prospect by 247 Sports, the sixth overall tackle in his high school class and the 32nd overall prospect in the class. Originally an Oregon Duck, Suamataia was expected to fill in place for Penei Sewell — an eventual first-round pick for the Detroit Lions — as the team’s blindside tackle of the future.
