4 First-Round Tackles the Chiefs Can Draft Following Latest Rumors
By Joe Summers
3. Jordan Morgan - Arizona
Jordan Morgan has flown a bit under the radar in the pre-draft process, but he's a dynamic left tackle who could bolster the Chiefs' offensive line for years to come.
He's seen snaps since his freshman year, during which he allowed zero sacks, and earned First-Team All-Pac 12 honors for the Wildcats in the 2023 season. At "only" 6'5", 312 LBs, Morgan is smaller than Guyton and Mims, but he's a true left tackle with uncanny quickness for his size.
Morgan is only in the 18th percentile in arm length, so I'd be surprised if Andy Reid ultimately decided he was the best fit. However, it's hard to argue with Morgan's profile and tape otherwise.
It's kinda funny how Jordan Morgan's best reps in pass pro came against Laiatu Latu, arguably the best rusher in the country.

But it makes sense stylistically, he's good with his hands and finesse rushers like this don't bother him much.

He did tear his ACL in his sophomore season, which could cause him to fall in the draft. It's possible that Kansas City could snag Morgan in the second round, but that'd likely require some luck. My best guess is that Brett Veach will prefer other prospects, though I expect him to have done his homework on a guy like Morgan.
Morgan has positional versatility in his bag of tricks too. He could move to guard down the line and has an impressive level of knowledge in both pass protection and run blocking. Fingers crossed one of the Chiefs' division rivals doesn't end up with the former Wildcat.
