*** 2020 Prospect Tracker: Chiefs Interest / Visits / Work Outs ***
 
"Well, we made it all the way to Overtime of the AFC Championship. With a solid draft, we could get over the hump." - 2019

We did it! Super Bowl Champs!!! And with a really great crop of rookies: Thornhill, Saunders, Fenton and Hardman were notable standouts.

This is the 9th 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 2019. The first 5 guys we drafted last year were on our list. Just incredible.

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 The Draft Network, a pretty sweet new website.

Let's meet some of our future Chiefs:

Thanks for doing this once again Dante.

Always fun speculating as to who the new Chiefs will be!

Tribal Warfare 02-14-2020 03:43 AM

I'm having trouble finding any news concerning prospects that the Chiefs are scouting and or interviewing

Dante84 02-14-2020 01:52 PM

Yeah - I think it's a super bowl hangover thing. No one is really talking about the draft, haha...

I think once the combine hits, the conversation will shift.

I’m not sure he fits the prototype that Reid looks for in his guards, as Stenberg is a bit heavy playing near 330 pounds, but boy do I love this guy’s finish in the run game. He plays with some nasty. Not the most consistent pass blocker, but he moves bodies in the run game that’s for sure.

Robert Hunt would be an awesome G prospect in the mid rounds. He’s strong, big guy like LDT was as a prospect.

Any of these guys. If Claypool can be more TE than WR I think I like that more in this offense.

Get the boy some leg work on the weights, a healthy dose of protein shakes, and a few of Reid's cheeseburgers to get him up around 255. He's at 238 at the combine. He runs 4.45 and has a 40.5 vert. Don't see him being any slower than 4.55 at that weight and that's still very fast for a TE.

ntexascardfan 02-28-2020 01:27 PM

Yasir Durant is a wasted football name at offensive tackle.

Dude needs to be an edge rusher or a running back.

Everytime the dude gets a sack the entire stadium could erupt in YES SIR!

Tee Higgins

I was thinking about him when I did my mock the other day and just couldn't find it in myself to put him at 32. I think he goes much higher and can't fathom him getting past Green Bay.

Yep, kinda reminded me of a faster 'bert Wilson, who Andy loved calling plays for.

RB
Ke’Shawn Vaughn, Vanderbilt
Darius “Jet” Anderson, TCU
Anthony McFarland, Maryland
Zack Moss, Utah
Lamical Perine, Florida
J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU

This should be our #1 pick if he is still there. Developing a legit running game would take this team to the next level. Dobbins catching passes out of the backfield from Mahomes would be electric.

Hard pass. With major holes at CB (and only 2 under contract), LB and IOL I would pass on Sweetness, Barry Sanders, Dickerson, et al at the end of the first round. It makes zero sense taking a RB round 1.

And that's why 32 teams should be THANKING THE GOOD LORD that you're not their damn GM :) . We just won the SB with no great CB's, LB's or guards!!..so I really don't know why folks are so obsessed with those positions but then run down the need for a competent running game. Swift might very well be there for us at 32 and IF Veach takes him I'd be more than happy with that choice and why? Because he's a damn good player who could start first day, that's why.

You are clueless aren't you? Probably "obsessed" with those positions because there are 2 CBs under contract for next season. Are you forgetting Breeland and Fuller are free agents? Also because there is so much more value likely in those positions than RB st 32.

Cam Akers in the third over any available RB at 32. LB/CB or CB/LB almost will provide better long and shoddy term results than RB at 32 and whatever follows. If Akers is gone, WR/IOL round 3.

So we can't get a cb In the second round? Smh no-one is saying don't address the cb position...all I'm saying is don't act like we need Jalen Ramsey to win...because we just proved we don't.

If this was true, the Chiefs would not have brought him in for a look. Developing a solid running game would take the pressure off Mahomes and make the offense even more dominant.

EXACTLY!!!..but naive fools would rather stack the backfield with average talent and put everything in Pat's hands instead of giving the kid a decent run game so our offense can be great across the board SMH :rolleyes:

Oh look..a mere mention of taking a RB early and the famous RB hater makes a sharp appearance...what a surprise ROFL

no, you just way overvalue the position as if it's 1975. It's not.

I'd take Akers in the 3rd.

EXACTLY!!!..but naive fools would rather stack the backfield with average talent and put everything in Pat's hands instead of giving the kid a decent run game so our offense can be great across the board SMH :rolleyes:

Here's the deal, although you have an emotional attachment to an idea in your head and won't hear logic, so I'm not sure why I bother.

1) The running game suffered due to inferior interior offensive line play. This is the primary reason for the lower ypc this year. You can see as we got deep into the season and the play-offs, the numbers went up as Wiz went in, Fisher was back and healthy, etc. We need to continue to rebuild the offensive line to protect Patrick. Being effective on the ground will do that too; but if your line sucks your running game sucks. Period. I'd rather draft a killer OG or OC than a RB early. Their careers are twice as long, for starters.

2) Damien Williams was also playing at less than healthy most of the season. I would like to continue to draft and develop competition at the position, but it's nowhere near being our biggest hole. OC, LG, LB, CB are all positions in which we are weaker in terms of possibly LOSING games due lack of talent. We're not going to LOSE a game because of Damien Williams. We might if we have no corners other than Ward and Fenton. We might due to shit offensive line play. See what I mean? No, probably not.

3) We've done just fine with RB's in the mid rounds. In fact, most of the league has. It's not QB. Every year, stud RB's are found in the 3rd. Kamara, Kareem Hunt, Jamaal Charles, etc, etc, etc. You do not need to draft one super early. You just don't.

4) Your own logic is and has been used against you; and you don't seem to get it. "We won the SB without star CB's!", yeah well, we won the SB with Damien Williams. "WE NEED A 1st ROUND RB!" Do you not get that? Nah, you don't. You have an emotional need to see one RB get all the carries so you can see 100 yds on the stat sheet. It comforts you. The game has changed, man.

5) I don't hate RB's. They're useful contributors. But spending a bunch of free agent money OR high draft pick capital on one is not a smart allocation of resources.

It's a chicken and the egg question.

Does your running game suck because your running backs suck?

Or does your running game suck because your offensive line sucks?

Leveon Bell looked like a hall of famer in Pittsburgh.

He looked like a slow, plodding, piece of shit in New York.

I wonder why?

People say a lot too that a good running game helps the passing game, but I'm almost certain its the reverse. A great passing game opens up running lanes.

Between the 20's the Chiefs were elite, but in the redzone a great running game is necessary because of the shortened field. The passing game is at a disadvantage inside the redzone becauseof space limit makes it easier for the opposition to cut off routes.

You never want to make it more difficult for the Franchise QB to succeed, and last season's redzone offense was average in comparison what they had with Kareem it's an asset that shouldn't be taken for granted.

Though my reasoning for IOL and a feature RB is to protect the PMII investment. Anything to keep him relatively healthy through the season and not always depending on him to be Superman because doesn't have said option at his disposal. Kareem was a big part of the MNF comeback against the Broncos.

well, in Andy Reid's style of offensive line play, we're never going to be great at straight ahead power running. It's not the type of offensive line skills he looks for. It's the price we pay for all the explosiveness between the 20's. All that trap, pull, misdirection stuff is designed to open big holes by forcing the defense to make mistakes. That closes down in short yardage and goal-line. I don't know about you, but while I find that frustrating, I think the trade-off is worth it.

I had a feeling that the lack of workouts etc from Corona might make this list less valuable this year in terms of predicting actual picks.

Kellerfox 04-26-2020 11:07 AM

In their official "getting the call" videos, Gay and Sneed both mentioned talking to or staff at the combine AND having follow up Zoom meetings after. Niang and Keyes both mentioned Zoom interviews.

Agreeing with Chargem, I don't think it's that Corona shortened the list so much as it shortened our awareness of Chiefs activities and media documentation of who we meet with.

I feel based on those comments from the prospect videos, Dante is fair game to add them now after the draft to match the consistency of his lists from previous years (if that's his take as keeper of the list). Danna is the only one I personally haven't seen anything on one way or another.

Chief Northman 04-26-2020 01:23 PM

So Chiefs ended up signing these guys as UDFA’s, all of whom had pre-draft meeting/interviews with KC. Good job yet again Dante!

Yasir Durant
Rodney Clemons
Javaris Davis

Dante84 04-27-2020 12:03 AM

Yeah, I’m with you guys, super tough year with no pro days and no visibility into zoom meetings. We did what we could!

I try not to add after the fact, since I feel like it’s purpose is to guide us pre-draft. It’s a safe bet anyone we draft will have met with us or we showed interest at some point; it’s our job to find it out somehow. The thrill of the hunt, I guess.

We’ll do better next year!
