Before the 2023 NFL Draft held at Kansas City’s Union Station over the weekend, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach had indicated that whether free-agent acquisition Jawaan Taylor would play left tackle or right tackle could hinge on whether the team acquired a left tackle in the draft.
“I think it wasn’t a secret that once free agency started, a tackle was at the top of [our] list — and I think we have great flexibility with him, Veach said of Taylor on April 20. “He certainly wants the opportunity to play left — but if we were to draft a left tackle, we know what Jawaan tape looks like at right tackle there — so excited to get him.
