Chiefs scouting report: LSU Tigers G Miles Frazier

Star Kansas City Chiefs right guard Trey Smith becomes an unrestricted free agent after the 2024 season. Spotrac puts Smith’s calculated market value at $17.9 million per season, which would rank eighth among annual salaries for guards. That’s a hefty price tag Kansas City might bypass in favor of adding new talent through the draft.

LSU guard Miles Frazier primarily plays right guard for the Tigers but started at left guard and left tackle in past seasons. If he stays healthy, he’ll enter the NFL with more than 3,000 offensive snaps in college, making him one of the most experienced prospects in the class.

Frazier’s frame sticks out on tape. His thick, powerful build makes him a brick wall in pass protection. Even when defenders get into his frame, they struggle to bull rush and break his anchor. Frazier needs to clean up his hand usage, but he deploys a sudden clamp that defenders struggle to escape.

Frazier explodes out of his stance and uses his vision to diagnose stunts and blitzes quickly. He plays through the whistle and looks for ways to support his teammates.

Frazier is a fourth or fifth-round-caliber prospect who primarily offers value in pass protection. His size and leg drive help him create some big plays in the run game, but he creates limited vertical displacement for running backs. Frazier needs to play to his size and show better balance as a run blocker.

The Tigers travel to College Station to face Texas A&M at 6:30 p.m. CST on October 26. LSU (3-0) and Texas A&M (4-0) are the only SEC teams without a loss to a conference opponent. The Aggies feature several NFL prospects along their defensive line, including defensive tackle Shemar Turner.
