The Kansas City Chiefs addressed the offensive line by selecting Oklahoma offensive lineman Wanya Morris in the third round of the NFL Draft Friday night. Morris was the 92nd overall pick.
The Chiefs traded up with Cincinnati for the pick, giving away the 95th pick to the Bengals.
Morris was a five-star recruit and made the SEC All-Freshman Team as a 12-game starter at left tackle for Tennessee in 2019. He started seven of nine games played in 2020, five at left tackle, two as a blocking tight end.
Morris was a college teammate of Trey Smith - a former Volunteer who's now the Chiefs' starting right guard. Smith was drafted in the sixth round by Kansas City in 2021.
THE 6'5" 307 pound Morris transferred to Oklahoma for the 2021 season, and played in six games as a reserve. He then started eight of nine contests at right tackle in 2022 while missing time with a shoulder injury. He opted out of the team's bowl game to prepare for the draft.
The Chiefs have six picks remaining in the 2023 draft. Rounds 4-7 come up Saturday. The final day of the draft gets started at 11 a.m. central.
