The Kansas City Chiefs have traded offensive lineman Wanya Morris to the Atlanta Falcons, moving up one round in the 2027 NFL Draft. The deal, which includes a seventh-round pick from the Chiefs in exchange for a sixth-round pick, was evaluated positively by CBS Sports, giving the Chiefs a 'B' grade. Morris started 16 games for Kansas City after being drafted in the third round of 2023 but saw his role diminish due to roster depth and a previous knee injury.
