*** 2019 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.
This is the 8th 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 2018. We had 7 guys on the list end up making the roster, including 4 draft picks! Hell of job, guys! 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: 2019 Draft - Chiefs Prospect Tracker Offense QB Trace McSorley, Penn State Peyton Bender, Kansas RB Darrell Henderson, Memphis David Montgomery, Iowa State Devin Singletary, FAU Dexter Williams, Notre Dame Justice Hill, Oklahoma State LJ Scott, Michigan State Mike Weber, Ohio State Miles Sanders, Penn State Nick Brossette, LSU Rodney Anderson, Oklahoma Trayveon Williams, Texas A&M Tony Pollard, Memphis Johnathan Thomas, Penn State Josh Jacobs, Alabama Marquis Young, UMass Alex Barnes, Kansas State Denzel Strong, NW Missouri State Deron Thompson, Kansas Josh Caldwell, Emporia State Kendall Morris, Kansas Darwin Thompson, Utah State Jalin Moore, Appalachian State WR Andy Isabella, UMass Tyre Brady, Marshall Jakobi Meyers, NC State David Sills, West Virginia N’Keal Harry, Arizona State Hakeem Butler, Iowa State Jamal Custis, Syracuse Mecole Hardman, Georgia Terry Godwin, Georgia Deebo Samuel, South Carolina Dillon Mitchell, Oregon Kelvin Harmon, NC State Terry McLaurin, Ohio State DeAndre Thompkins, Penn State John Ursua, Hawaii Ryan Shadler, Kansas Emanuel Hall, Missouri Jeremiah Booker, Kansas Justin Hobbs, Tulsa Kyrion Parker, Central Missouri TE Dawson Knox, Ole Miss Irv Smith, Alabama Isaac Nauta, Georgia Jace Sternberger, Texas A&M Josh Oliver, San Jose St. Zach Gentry, Michigan Tommy Sweeney, Boston College Drew Sample, Washington Trevon Wesco, West Virginia Alize Mack, Notre Dame Matt Sokol, Michigan State Andrew Reinkemeyer, South Alabama Austin Burau, Missouri Western Kendall Blanton, Missouri Seth Hebert, Central Missouri OT Bobby Evans, Oklahoma Dalton Risner, Kansas State Derwin Gray, Maryland Greg Little, Ole Miss Michael Deiter, Wisconsin Michael Jordan, Ohio State Ross Pierschbacher, Alabama Trey Pipkins, Sioux Falls Tytus Howard, Alabama State Derrick Puni, Central Missouri Ethan Greenidge, Villanova G Beau Benzschawel, Wisconsin Bennett Powers, Oklahoma Nate Davis, UNC Charlotte Abdul Beecham, Kansas State Alex Fontana, Kansas Dwayne Wallace, Kansas Kevin Pendleton, Missouri Samson Bailey, Missouri C Connor McGovern, Penn State Garrett Bradbury, NC State Lamont Gaillard, Georgia Defense CB Kris Boyd, Texas Amani Oruwariye, Penn State Derrick Baity, Kentucky Blace Brown, Troy Rashad Fenton, South Carolina Rock Ya Sin, Temple Joejuan Williams, Vanderbilt Corey Ballentine, Washburn DeAndre “Dre” Baker, Georgia Byron Murphy, Washington Saivion Smith, Alabama Justin Layne, Michigan State Jamalcolm Liggins, Dickinson State (*also a wr) Brandin Dandridge, Missouri Western Duke Shelley, Kansas State Finis Stribling, Missouri Shakial Taylor, Kansas S Nasir Adderley, Delaware Taylor Rapp, Washington Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Florida Jaquon Johnson, Miami Marquise Blair, Utah Malik Gant, Marshall Juan Thornhill, Virginia Johnathan Abram, Mississippi State Deionte Thompson, Alabama Darius West, Kentucky Doyin Jibowu, Fort Hays State Will Harris, Boston College Cam Hilton, Missouri Kendall Adams, Kansas State DE / Edge Oshane Ximines, Old Dominion Jaylon Ferguson, LA Tech Carl Granderson, Wyoming Clelin Ferrell, Clemson Jachai Polite, Florida Montez Sweat, Mississippi State Austin Bryant, Clemson Shareef Miller, Penn State Anthony Nelson, Iowa L.J.

Anyone else a bit surprised we're meeting with WRs, not RBs?

RB's flourish in this scheme. It's not about them being stud talents. They're schemed open and all the movement of the line creates open lanes. It's not a position of need. |

Maybe the Senior bowl RBs are expected to go higher than the Chiefs expect to take a RB. I'm sure they will meet with a ton of RBs before the draft.
That being said, especially if we get a pick above 30-50 from tag and trading Ford, I would love to actually add a WR or TE this year in the 2nd. Just gotta use the 1st rounder on D and get the FA pieces in place to know you can take a guy on offense early. |

we'll probably take a RB somewhere in the draft, but probably not till rd. 4 a the earliest and I'd bet it's more likely we pick up some UDFA small school guys instead as training camp fodder and to see if any shake out.
It's just not a need when we have a lot of needs. i mean, who's 3 deep in stud RB's? We need defensive players at every level, we need OL depth and development, maybe WR's. We haven't got a second TE. All needs before RB right now. |

I've been saying all season that Boyd was tremendously over rated in mock drafts and I think senior bowl week has proven that out. He was atrocious in his time during the first half.
With that said...here's some scouting feedback on the two Longhorn targets we've talked to. My personal opinion is that if we tag + trade Dee Ford that Charles Omenihu could be an interesting take for us to slide into the LEO alongside Chris Jones in Spags defense. " The bottom line is that neither Charles Omenihu nor Kris Boyd blew the doors off the Senior Bowl in the way many would have hoped. There is good news, though. I've talked to tons of scouts and professional analysts this week and no one thinks Omenihu falls out of the second round. Sitting at the airport and typing this, I was talking to a well-known sportswriter who said hello and I told him I was writing an update on the two and asked his opinion. He said that he couldn't see Charles going any later than Day 2 (meaning rounds 2 and 3) and a scout sitting at my gate next to me overheard the conversation and agreed that he will not. Armed with all this information, I think it is fair to project Omenihu's draft floor currently as late third-round with upside to move up from there with a good combine and/or a great game on Saturday. We've seen edge guys like Ezekiel Ansah and even as recently as last year, Marcus Davenport, have a slow week of practices and then explode in the game to help their stock. Such an event for Omenihu would surely be a boon. "There were so many good DL," one scout said when I asked about Omenihu's week, "it was hard to stand out. Better using his hands. You saw his arms, but I like the way he used his hands. The (North OL) is tough." |

I really like Jaylen Ferguson out of Louisiana Tech. His motor never stops and I love how he plays with violence and is relentless in pursuit. He is projecting at the bottom of Round 1 - right in the wheelhouse....

not sure if this is where I should say this but-
I did some looking back through Spags' personnel on his better defenses. He'll play rookies in key spots and 2nd year guys. In 2007 he had a rookie corner and a couple of second year starters. So if guys can play, they'll play. |
