*** 2018 Prospect Tracker: Chiefs Interest / Visits / Work Outs ***
 
Annnnd another playoff run, and a winning season has us drafting at the tail end of each round, except this year, we *currently* don't have a 1st round pick.

This is the 7th year in a row that we will be tracking the college players the Chiefs have publicly or privately expressed interest in leading up to the NFL Draft.

Here's how we did in 2017. We've done better in the previous years, but not so much last year, one of the many reasons I was slow to start one this year. After a few DM's, I decided to do it again as we run up to the final month.

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, or the NFL Draft Tracker. For some of the lesser-known guys, it may just be a random video or profile from their team website.

Let's meet some of our future Chiefs:

Hey gang,

I know in the past that some posters kept a pre-draft tracker of sorts regarding prospect visits, combine interviews, etc.

This Fanpost from AP is a good starting point for you draftniks to start deciphering Veach’s draft puzzle....
Credit to AP poster WesternChief for the work.

I will get the OP updated soon.

Said this in the other draft interview thread, but is it surprising that not many DT's have been interviewed? 8+ safeties and corners met with, only 5 DT. Either we're going secondary with the top 2 picks or there aren't many DT's the Chiefs like?

“No Secret #Chiefs love Mike Hughes. Targeting Corner Rd2. Don’t be surprised if trade up from 54. Mike Hughes is their crush. Few other names... Dorance Armstrong, Malik Jefferson, Frank Ragnow, Braden Smith, Josh Sweat. Chiefs shown ain’t afraid being bold.”

This is what I expect. I think we trade up into the late 30s or 40s and grab a defensive back. Hughes would fit the press man scheme very well and provides insurance at an immensely valuable position with Nelson and Amerson set to be FAs next year.

KYLIE FITTS

Q: Did you speak with the Chiefs at all?
“Yeah, I spoke with them at the informal meetings a bit. It went really well. They just got a new member of the staff that was on my team as a player with me this past year (Whittingham).

He’s a real good guy. So I was talking with him and talking with the scouts there and the coaches. I thought it went really good and that I fit in their scheme really well.”

LOWELL LOTULELEI

Q: Have the Chiefs reached out to you at all?
“I talked with them. I just had a little informal interview with them. It was good. They just talked to me about my background and talked to me about some plays and stuff.”
