Multiple teams tried to convert Kahlil McKenzie to offensive line

One of the storylines coming out of Day 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft for the Kansas City Chiefs centered around their selection of Kahlil McKenzie. Specifically, the pick painted general manager Brett Veach as a bit of a maverick.

Not only did the Chiefs GM once again trade up (and lose picks in the process) to take the player, but then that name turned out to be the son of a rival GM, Reggie McKenzie of the Oakland Raiders. It felt like a perfect troll job that was then taken one step further, when it was announced that McKenzie was, in fact, a guard.
