Chiefs draft Turk McBride

Defensive lineman Turk McBride became Tennessee's fourth player to be taken in the NFL, going to the Kansas City Chiefs with the 22nd pick of the second round.

McBride moved from defensive end to tackle last season, finishing with 68 tackles including nine for a loss.

McBride joins Justin Harrell (Green Bay), Robert Meachem (New Orleans) and Arron Sears (Tampa Bay) as first-day picks. Defensive back Jonathan Wade could also come off the board sometime tonight.

The draft concludes with the final four rounds Sunday.
