Chiefs 2021 mock draft: Revamping the offensive line
2. Quinn Meinerz, C, Wisconsin-Whitewater
One of the hottest players in the 2021 NFL Draft circuit since the Senior Bowl, Quinn Meinerz is rewarded for his outstanding week in Mobile and at his Pro Day with a second-round selection by the reigning AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
This guy was an absolute treat to watch in Senior Bowl practices and he torched the 40-yard dash at his pro day as well.
Quinn Meinerz was 4.95 and 4.99 on first 40 attempt and 4.92 twice on second run (shown here). He’s now officially big AND fast. 💰💰💰#QuinnsDraftStartedInMobile pic.twitter.com/sCMqGKCJUH

Naturally, he took a celebratory trip to Culver’s afterward.
Meinerz would fill an immediate need for the Chiefs and frankly would give Kansas City a pretty exciting young core on the offensive line if put in a group with 2020 draft pick Lucas Niang and projected first-round pick (in this scenario) Liam Eichenberg.
Meinerz is 6-foot-3, 320 pounds, and a heck of an athlete. He plays with an edge, he plays smart, and he plays with high effort and intensity.
What more could the Chiefs ask for at this spot? There might not be a better scenario for Kansas City than to come away with day one starters in the first two rounds at left tackle and center.
