*** 2015 Prospect Tracker: Chiefs Interest / Visits / Work Outs *** - Page 8

Dante84 · 10:38 AM

Draft Season is upon us. With the college season ending tomorrow, and the NFL wrapping up soon as well, our focus shifts to the most glorious time of year.

With a ton of picks this year, it will be even more exciting to follow.

4 years ago, this thread had a few guys that we selected in the draft. 3 years ago, this thread had 4 of our 8 draft picks. 2 years ago, we got Kelce and Fisher, and last year we snagged Murray, DAT, LD-T, and Kona Schwenke.

Here was our list from 2014:

Spoiler!

For those who are new, the way this operates is that we collectively monitor various social media sources, blogs, articles and reports for news of the Chiefs' interest in a certain player. When posted in this thread, I will update the OP to include the player. *Please provide the link to the article, the players name, position and team.

I am going to try to link to player profiles when they exist, courtesy of draftbreakdown.com. For some of the lesser-known guys, it may just be a random video or profile from their team website.

That's a lot of activity for the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Dawson could play inside or outside linebacker at the next level, and has a reputation for being especially stingy against the run.

Woooo

TCU's pro day is on the 27th.

I really like Dawson. Where is he projected to go?

Beast mode in this game:

redshirt32 · 03-23-2015, 04:31 AM

Dawson looked like a dough boy at the combine, not sure where he is projected in the draft now....

Devin Gardner, QB/WR, Michigan: Gardner says he'll work out for Chiefs

Pre-combine he was a late 1st/early 2nd rounder. After his awful combine day, who knows.

He claims he tweaked his hamstring while running his first 40. If he runs a 4.7 or lower at his pro-day then I think he projects back to those spots.

Nightfyre · 03-23-2015, 10:17 AM

If he tweaked his hammy, he should have tried rolling down the track on that tire he carried around his waist.

RunKC · 03-23-2015, 12:59 PM

Great story on Dawson here

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...tian/23253621/

I think they are checking his character wth these visits. As a player he's the best ILB prospect for is IMO. He's damn good against the run and damn good in coverage.

I would draft him in a heartbeat if he's there in round 2.

Dante84 · 03-23-2015, 03:02 PM

I saw we're hosting Funchess on an official visit/workout.

Eight teams showed up to Scheuerman's pro day. #Bills, #Chiefs, #Colts, #Eagles, among them. His highlights --> https://t.co/A9xusOgHhN

Next Wes Welker?

OldSchool · 03-24-2015, 05:03 PM

Iowa State dismissed senior DL David Irving worked out for the Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Oakland Raiders and the Seattle Seahawks.
The ex-Iowa State prospect was dismissed from the program and did not play in 2014, as he was charged with fifth-degree theft, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief in connection with a student riot back in April. In 2013, Irving was also arrested on a domestic assault charge against his girlfriend. It will be interesting to see which team, if any, rolls the dice in the draft on Irving. Brandt notes that Irving "had a good workout, went through some bag drills, and is a potential sleeper prospect in the 2015 NFL Draft."

BigChiefFan · 03-25-2015, 08:42 AM

The fact that Jaelen Strong is on that list, should dispel any notions that he wouldn't fit in our offense, like some have claimed. Boom.

**The Franchise** · 03-25-2015, 01:52 PM

Also observed the #Chiefs spending time chatting with #Jayhawks CB JaCorey Shepherd in addition to Ben Heeney.

He seems nice can he play LB, 6'7 3/4 my goodness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoI52N6MPFM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpaHc8BqPP4

Representatives from seven NFL teams showed up at the workout: the Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks.

Irving (6-foot-7 3/4, 273 pounds) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.84 seconds on both attempts; he posted a 1.69-second 10-yard split, which is very good. He had a 38-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-8 broad jump. He did the 20-yard short shuttle in 4.53 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.27 seconds.

Irving has an 87 3/4-inch wingspan, and they say he can tie his shoes while standing up. He had a good workout, went through some bag drills, and is a potential sleeper prospect in the 2015 NFL Draft class. What happens with Irving is an interesting scenario in this draft due to the off-the-field issues that kept him from playing at Iowa State last season.

If he didn't play in 2014, hopefully he comes on as a UDFA.
