Chiefs scouting report: Minnesota Golden Gophers OT Aireontae Ersery
The Kansas City Chiefs recently traded away Joe Thuney, suggesting the team plans to play 2024 second round pick Kingsley Suamataia at guard this coming season. Even after signing Jaylon Moore, the Chiefs might select Minnesota Golden Gophers left tackle Aireontae Ersery in the 2025 NFL draft. Ersery's measurements at the Senior Bowl came back at an impressive 6'5 3/4", 339 lbs. with 34" arms. His arm length at the NFL Combine measured 33 1/8", but that measurement seems flawed based on the chaotic and inconsistent numbers provided at this year's combine. Ersery checks the size boxes at offensive tackle. Ersery sports a thick frame with powerful arms. He channels impressive power through his hands to generate pop and take control of plays. Ersery takes an aggressive approach in pass protection that features jump sets and landing the first punch. Despite his size and mass, Ersery gains good width and depth with his kick step. His quick slide and long strides help him work the entire arc in pass protection. Ersery uses his powerful upper frame to disrupt bull rushes and deploys snatch-traps to counter long-arm moves. His play strength helps him toss around outside linebackers and easily overpower smaller rushers. Ersery needs to adopt more independent hand usage to avoid losing plays when his two-handed punches miss the mark. Ersery plays high in his stance, which makes him vulnerable to rushers who play with leverage and power. He leans and lunges too often because his chest drifts over his knees. His lateral agility makes him late to adjust for some B-gap counters. Ersery creates significant movement in the run game. He caves in 4-techs or drives 5-techs toward the sideline and out of plays. Ersery clamps down on defensive linemen, drives his legs and strains to finish blocks. His balance needs improvement in the run game, but his power ranks among the best in the class. The Chiefs enter the draft with plenty of flexibility. They could bundle their two third round picks to move up in the first round, but it's unlikely Ersery will cost that much. Kansas City should have the chance to select him with pick 31 or an early second round selection if they trade back.
