Morris probably would have gone higher in the draft had he not suffered a hamstring strain running the 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine in Indy. He wasn’t able to workout for teams until April 11 and didn’t take any pre-draft visits as a result.
I like this move for Kansas City better than I would a player like Dawand Jones. Morris has true positional versatility and can play a number of different spots for the Chiefs. Left tackle, right tackle, guard, you name it. He’s a really strong pass protector and plays the game with a nasty streak, boasting some great tape in the SEC and Big 12. I also really liked what I saw from him down in Mobile at the Senior Bowl.
Overall, this is exactly the type of player that I want protecting Patrick Mahomes on game day. Also, there’s something to be said about making a trade with the Bengals to help keep No. 15 upright.
