ESPN Projects NC State Left Tackle Anthony Belton as a 1st Round Pick in Next Years NFL Draft

ESPN released a early 1st Round Mock Draft for next years 2025 NFL Draft, and NC State Senior Left Tackle is projected to be taken 31st overall by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Despite how well the Chiefs have put together and managed their roster, there’s a lack of answers at offensive tackle. The Kingsley Suamataia pick in the second round likely solves one tackle spot, potentially replacing right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who struggled last season. Belton, a two-year starter at left tackle, allowed one sack last year and wows with his easy movement at 6-5 and 345 pounds. If the Chiefs like Suamataia on the right side (where most scouts pegged him pre-draft), then Belton could fit well at left tackle to give Patrick Mahomes more time in the pocket. (ESPN)

NC State has had 18 players taken in the 1st Round of the NFL Draft.
