124. Scouting Report. Alabama. 44. player. Pick Analysis. OL. Alex Leatherwood
The Kansas City Chiefs already had major needs across their offensive line entering the offseason. Earlier this week, their offensive line situation became even shakier when they released starting tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz. The Chiefs desperately need to attack this offensive line need this offseason.
Alex Leatherwood is a big and powerful offensive lineman who shines as a run blocker and holds up well in pass protection. He performed well at both tackle and guard in college but appears to be a better fit inside at the next level. Either way, the Chiefs have needs all across their offensive line and adding Leatherwood would help.
