The Kansas City Chiefs moved back up into the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft, just as Brett Veach suggested they would on Friday night. After moving up, the team selected Kentucky OT Darian Kinnard.
Kinnard is just a massive human being, listed at 6-5 and over 320 pounds with 35-inch arms. He’s really good at using his frame, length and strength to get movement in the running game.
The big knock to Kinnard’s game is that he’s still developing as a pass protector. Last year, Kentucky’s offense switched to a more balanced attack under current Rams OC Liam Coen. Kinnard struggled at times to latch on and keep guys at bay on passing downs.
