The Kansas City Chiefs are set to host another intriguing prospect for a visit to 1 Arrowhead Dr. ahead of the 2024 NFL draft.

According to Bleacher Report's Ryan Fowler, the Chiefs are set to host Boston College OL Christian Mahogany for a pre-draft visit. Mahogany can fill a future need for Kansas City on the interior offensive line. He is currently expected to be a top-100 draft pick after a promising senior season, a great showing at the East-West Shrine game, and an impressive workout at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. 

What is a top-30 visit?

The NFL allows 30 pre-draft visits with upcoming NFL draft prospects and these are referred to as top-30 visits. Teams use them to gather more information about a specific draft prospect. If a player has a medical history, teams typically will bring those players in to do further background research. The same thing goes for off-field issues or character concerns. Sometimes teams simply want to get a better idea of how a prospect would fit with the team culture.

The Chiefs tend to be varied in their usage of top-30 visits. It doesn't always indicate the player is even on the team's draft board. Often they'll bring in players expected to be priority free agents, to impress upon them that this team is the right fit in undrafted free agency. At the same time, just last season they hosted a pair of their draft picks (Rashee Rice & BJ Thompson) on top-30 visits, and they've had plenty of others in the past.

How does Boston College OL Christian Mahogany fit with the Chiefs?

The Chiefs have some current and future needs on the interior offensive line. While a Day 2 selection at offensive guard might not be flashy, it could set this team up for success.

A three-year starter at Boston College, Mahogany has 34 career starts at guard, with 11 starts on the left side and 23 starts on the right side. He played for a run-heavy scheme at Boston College, but he finished his senior campaign as one of the best pass-blocking guards in the country. As noted by Fowler above, he didn’t allow a single sack or hit on his quarterback in 394 pass-blocking snaps in 2023.

Mahogany's playstyle is reminiscent of Chiefs RG Trey Smith. He's an absolute bully in the running game and you don't want to meet him in the open field if you're a defender. He sets the tone for an offensive line in a big way, using strong hands, a sturdy base, and elite athleticism to his advantage. 

This visit could fall under the category of the Chiefs doing homework on a player who suffered a significant injury in college. Mahogany missed the entire 2022 college football season with a torn ACL. Expect that a portion of his visit will include a medical check from the training staff.
