Chiefs scouting report: Alabama A&M Bulldogs OT Carson Vinson
The Kansas City Chiefs signed left tackle Jaylon Moore in free agency to stabilize their pass protection. Moore is a nice short-term addition but doesn't move the needle when projecting ahead several years. The Chiefs should invest in at least one developmental offensive tackle in the 2025 NFL draft. Alabama A&M Bulldogs left tackle Carson Vinson is a massive 6'7 1/8", 314 lb. prospect with more than 3,400 collegiate offensive snaps under his belt. He turned heads at the Senior Bowl earlier this year by measuring in with 35 1/8" arms and a 6'11 3/4" wingspan. Despite his significant experience in college, Vinson is a long-term project who needs several years to develop before competing for snaps. Advertisement Vinson's measurables and movement skills check all the boxes. He's a smooth athlete with massive hands that defenders struggle to combat. Vinson loads and shoots his hands with jarring power to stun and re-route pass rushers. His grip strength locks down defensive linemen and prevents them from continuing their rush plans. Vinson moves well in space and rolls power through his hips when he contacts defenders. He churns his legs through contact to displace linemen or pancake linebackers. Vinson is a freaky athlete but lacks technical polish. His kick step leaves his outside shoulder vulnerable to speed rushes. His hands land wide, exposing his chest, and lack the consistent pop to dent pass rushers. Vinson plays top heavy, overextending when he attempts to initiate contact in the pass and run games. He struggles to keep blocks framed despite possessing an arm length advantage against most opponents. Advertisement Vinson plays at the level of a late Day 3 selection, but his outstanding physical tools and developmental upside as a small school prospect suggest he could go as high as the fourth round. The Chiefs may need to trade back from pick 95 into the top of the fourth round to secure Vinson at a cost-effective spot.
