Seems like the Chiefs should focus on using their investments wildly instead of just throwing them at whatever comes along.

I'd argue Cosmi is the most worrisome in terms of strength and run blocking.
I have no worries about Eichenberg. No worries about Darrisaw in a trade-up.
I'm not really sure about who the rest may be. I suppose it depends on how you project Slater and Vera Tucker. I think Slater is a stud no matter where he plays. I think the further you move him inside, the better he'll be but I don't think he is a no-go at LT. I just think what you see is what you get at LT with him. I see Vera Tucker as more of a stud LG prospect that can be a ST in a pinch.
I don't particularly love Leatherwood, although I wouldn't feel like it was a terrible shot at 31 if they went that way. I think he has the strength and athleticism but more worried about his technique.
I don't think Teven Jenkins is a LT at all. I had early thoughts Mayfield may be but have pulled back from that, definitely RT or RG.
I like Walker Little, but he needed polish in terms of technique before the injury and he's not all the more athletic than Eichenberg. Relatively, I'd take Eichenberg first but I'd take Little over so many others I haven't listed above.
The rest of the class is very meh to me. I think Radunz can become a LT but he's a guy for a year or 2 down the road, not 2021. I think Spencer Brown could move to the left side, but again he's a year or two away. The rest are RTs or guards to me.
