2018 NFL Draft: Kansas City Chiefs trade up to take Kahlil McKenzie

The Kansas City Chiefs added a second sixth round pick to their draft haul by trading back up almost immediately after making their first selection in the round. After the trade, they announced their pick as Tennessee defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie.

Interestingly enough, McKenzie is the son of Reggie McKenzie, the general manager of the Oakland Raiders—the Chiefs division rival. McKenzie is a 6’3, 314 lb. defensive line prospect who didn’t start until this last year in Knoxville. This season, he started 8 games for the Volunteers and had 35 total tackles and 2 sacks.

McKenzie was expected to be a late round prospect and might face a bit of an uphill climb to make the Chiefs final roster.
