BYU’s Kingsley Suamataia was one of Kansas City’s ‘favorite’ top-30 visits

On Friday night, the Kansas City Chiefs acquired former BYU offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia with the 63rd overall pick in the second round of the NFL Draft.

Originally ranked 46th on Arrowhead Pride’s consensus top-100 prospect ranking, it was a surprise that the 21-year-old tackle was still available at the end of the second round. The Chiefs even moved up one pick to be sure they could get him, as assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi explained to reporters afterward.

“He was a guy that we targeted, actually, out of this tackle group in the second round,” he noted.
