The Kansas City Chiefs signed Jaylon Moore in free agency, but the former San Francisco 49ers left tackle only has 831 career offensive snaps, and they all came in an offensive line-friendly scheme. The Chiefs should pursue alternatives with their third and fourth round picks in the 2025 NFL draft.
Connecticut Huskies offensive lineman Chase Lundt played more than 3,000 snaps at right tackle in college. Discussions recently re-emerged about him sticking at tackle in the NFL, but his limited arm length, wingspan, and light 6’7 1/2″, 304 lb. frame make that unlikely. He projects best as an NFL guard with emergency right tackle versatility.
Lundt’s foot speed helps him protect his outside shoulder in pass protection, but he lacks the consistent kick step to stick on an island. Moving inside should eliminate this concern. The transition also mitigates issues he has with oversetting and opening the B-gap.
Lundt is a tall player who sinks his hips and sets a wide base to anchor, but he lacks the mass to contend with the league’s top weight room warriors. He uses twitchy strikes to attack defenders and swat away their hands, but his punches often land wide and expose his chest. Defenders also catch Lundt overextending while trying to initiate contact.
UConn tackle Chase Lundt is one of the most athletic run blockers I’ve ever seen at the college level. Executing these pulls/climbs/backside cutoffs at almost 6-7 is absurd

Lundt’s quickness and elite mobility shine in the run game. There isn’t a reach block or backside cutoff he can’t make. His quick strides and burst off the line help him quickly establish positioning or overtake second level defenders. Lundt drives his legs through contact to generate displacement and pancake defenders.
Lundt flashes impressive core strength to latch and work defenders out of gaps. His loose frame helps him contort his upper body to finish blocks. Lundt needs seasoning in pass protection, but his work in the run game ranks among the best in the class.
Lundt could sneak into the final ten spots in the top 100, but the fourth round seems like his eventual landing spot. The Chiefs don’t pick in the fourth round until 133rd overall, meaning they need to move around a little to secure Lundt.
