Mel Kiper mock draft 3.0: Chiefs use No. 31 on a potential starter at tackle

ESPN NFL college/draft analyst Mel Kiper released version 3.0 of his 2021 mock draft on Tuesday. At the No. 31 draft position — for the second mock in a row — Kiper sent an offensive tackle to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are shaking up their offensive line, signing guards Joe Thuney and Kyle Long in free agency and letting tackles Mitchell Schwartz and Eric Fisher and interior linemen Austin Reiter and Kelechi Osemele walk (although Kansas City could still bring back one or some of them on short-term deals).
