The Kahlil McKenzie project: what the Chiefs are hoping for

For a few minutes Saturday afternoon, everyone believed the Kansas City Chiefs had gone all defense on the 2018 NFL Draft.

After making five defensive picks through the first five rounds of the draft, the Chiefs, with no sixth-round pick, traded their two seventh-rounders to move into the sixth at No. 198 overall.

And with that pick, they selected defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie.

Or so we thought.

Area scout Pat Sperduto, speaking to the media at the Chiefs practice facility after the selection, revealed otherwise.

“We were at his Pro Day and we worked him out as a guard,” Sperduto said.
