The Chiefs Trade Up for an Offensive Tackle in the Third Round
April 28, 2023
The Kansas City Chiefs trade up in the third round to select offensive tackle Wanya Morris.
The Chiefs traded picks 95 and 217 to the Cincinnati Bengals for pick 92.
A Grayson high school graduate, Morris was a former five-star recruit by ESPN prior to entering college. From 2019-2020, he played alongside current Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith in Tennessee.
Morris transferred to Oklahoma in 2021, where he was a backup. He played right tackle in 2022, where he started eight games.
The Georgia product earned a second-team All-Big 12 selection by the Associated Press.
The Chiefs add more depth to the offensive line position after Orlando Brown Jr. signed a massive deal with the Bengals. Morris will battle for the starting right tackle position, as recently signed tackle Jawaan Taylor will be a blindside blocker.
