KC Warpaint 3,238 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 By Joel Thorman@ArrowheadPride Apr 28, 2018, 3:40pm CDT The Kansas City Chiefs made a second pick in the sixth round after trading up and selected DT Kahlil McKenzie out of Tennessee. This pick is special because McKenzie is the son of Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie. Tennessee called him a DT but the Chiefs say they see him as an offensive guard in KC, which is interesting. The Chiefs do have a future need at guard. Silver and Black Pride had this to say about the younger McKenzie: Kahlil spent his high school years in the Bay Area, watching Raiders practices with his dad before heading off to play at his father’s alma mater of Tennessee as a 5-star recruit. He came out a year early with the advice of his dad and now will be joining one of the Raiders’ rivals in Kansas City. They select him with the intention of playing offensive guard, according to team officials. I had Kahlil as a 6th round pick by the Raiders in my mock and he may have been their pick at 216 had he been there. Missing out on him as a player isn’t a big deal, whether he plays DT — where the Raiders selected PJ Hall in the second round and Maurice Hurst in the fifth — or guard — where the Raiders are solid.

moons314 2,463 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Why would a father who is a gm advise his son to come out early and end up being a sixth rounder. I would think another year of school could’ve helped his draft status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I don't think his dad advised him to declare early. Just the whole draft process once he had done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 He's probably a better guard prospect. I base that mostly on being a shit dline prospect so nowhere to go but up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NChiefsCorner 496 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Charles Woodson to Reggie McKenzie: Your son can’t put that red helmet onPosted by Michael David Smith on April 29, 2018, 10:39 AM EDT The son of Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie is about to become a Chief, and one Raiders great isn’t happy about it. Former Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson told McKenzie after the Chiefs drafted Kahlil McKenzie that it just isn’t right for a young man with the Silver and Black in his blood to put on red and gold. “I got a text from Charles Woodson, who told me, ‘Your son has to retire. There’s no way he can put that red helmet on his head,’” Reggie McKenzie said. “Part of me felt that way, but in all seriousness it’s a good opportunity for him and I was hoping that he would land at a spot that will kind of grow him to that position. He can play D-tackle, but I think he could be special on the offensive line. That’s where we were going to play him.” For his part, Kahlil McKenzie has already vowed to whip the team his dad runs. He may be a sixth-round rookie, but McKenzie is already right in the middle of one of the NFL’s best rivalries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s how they really felt, they had many opportunities to make him a part of their organization, but they didn’t. He’s a long shot to be in the league in three years, being a sixth rounder undergoing a position change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I think it is good natured fun. Did you see the tweet put out by the Raiders in response to the Chiefs welcoming him?

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The new Fulton? They both went to TN. Not quite. I think McKenzie moves pretty decent and has no ability while Fulton was a solid technician that couldn't move for shit, which is why he was solid at C and couldn't play Guard worth a damn.
