*** 2022 Prospect Tracker: Chiefs Interest / Visits / Work Outs ***
2021 Recap
A rough 2nd half of our 4th straight AFC Championship game prevented us from going to our 3rd straight Super Bowl. It was an up-and-down season with some incredible highs and confusing lows. Our Offense was at sometimes mediocre, and other times incredible, with the final game being a microcosm of this. Our Defense went from worst in the league, to the best in the league, back to somewhere in between when it was all said and done. Last year Veach attacked the OL in the offseason with incredible results. He made a key mid-season trade for Ingram, which helped our terrible pass rush become decent again. He nailed the '21 draft with Humphrey, Bolton, and Smith. This offseason should present a defensive mini-overhaul, focusing on the Edge position, improvements in the secondary, and just a few skill-player upgrades on Offense. The list of holes is not long, but they should be improved if we want to continue our status as the top team in the AFC. Overview This is the 11th 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. Last year was rough in that COVID prevented people from attending most of the major events (No combine, virtual visits, etc...). While we did get Nick Bolton on our list, I'm hoping for better results this year. 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, other sites' write ups, or their team's website. Let's meet some of our future Chiefs: 2022 Draft - Chiefs Prospect Tracker Offense QB Malik Willis, Liberty Skylar Thompson, Kansas State Chris Oladokun, South Dakota St RB Rachaad White, Arizona State Shermani Jones, Coastal Carolina Nick Lenners, Kansas State JD Woods, Baker WR Taysir Mack, Pitt Mike Harley, Jr., Miami George Pickens, Georgia Treylon Burks, Arkansas Samori Toure, Nebraska Erik Ezukanma, Texas Tech Kwamie Lassiter II, Kansas Christian Watson, NDSU Jameson Williams, Alabama John Metchie III, Alabama Jaquarii Roberson, Wake Forest Danny Gray, SMU Drake London, USC TE Cade Brewer, Texas Trey McBride, Colorado State Lucas Krull, Pittsburgh Gerrit Prince, UAB OT Vederian Lowe, Illinois Tanner Owen, Northwest Missouri State Ryan Van Demark, UConn G C CJ Perez, Temple Michael Maietti, Missouri Defense CB Dallis Flowers, Pitt State Duron Lowe, Liberty Sam Webb, Missouri Western Ja'Quan McMillian, East Carolina Gregory Junior, Ouachita Baptist Joshua Williams, Fayetteville State Samuel Womack, Toledo Jaylen Watson, Washington State Zyon Gilbert, Florida Atlantic S Joey Blount, Virginia Jaron McPherson, K-State Nasir Greer, Wake Forest Jahron McPherson, Kansas State Vonte Davis, Utah JT Woods, Baylor Delarrin Turner-Yell, Oklahoma Tariq Woolen, UTSA DE / Edge OLB James Houston IV, Jackson State Storey Jackson, Liberty ILB DL Akial Byers, Missouri Jordan Davis, Georgia DT Devonte Wyatt, Georgia Special Teams P K LS Links to Past Years: 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 Last edited by Dante84; 04-27-2022 at 06:18 PM.. |

This year didn't help us determine who we might draft. Only one of our draft picks was reported whom we met with and it was a 7th rounder haha.

For whatever reason the news didn't trickle out very well this year.

I think a lot of it is that they're just more secretive these days. I also think it's possible they were looking at mentality pretty heavy in this draft, and some of it may not have shaken out in the interviews. |

Still happy to do it! I wish the agents were more proactive in sharing the news publicly in the hopes that it drums up interest, though just because it doesn't make its way to the media doesn't mean it doesn't get to the front offices.

They all said they had informal combine interviews. I bet they informally met nearly every player at the combine. Credit to the Chiefs for being discreet. Appreciate your work on this thread though!
