*** 2021 Prospect Tracker: Chiefs Interest / Visits / Work Outs ***
After a hard fought season defending the title, we fell short in the finale due to some critical holes that need to be addressed. Sure, we'll get some guys back at some of these spots, but we absolutely need this draft to be successful if we are to keep our status as a SB favorite in the years ahead.
O-Line, Edge, WR stand out as our biggest needs, among others. Let's hope Veach works his magic again. This is the 10th 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. This will be a more difficult challenge given that there will be no combine, only the Senior Bowl, various Pro Days and virtual visits. Here's how we did in 2020 - Clyde was our only hit, surprisingly. 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 site write up, or their team's website. Let's meet some of our future Chiefs: 2020 Draft - Chiefs Prospect Tracker Offense QB RB Pooka Williams, Kansas Jaret Patterson, Buffalo Elijah Mitchell, Louisiana WR Josh Palmer, Tennessee Austin Watkins, UAB Nico Collins, Michigan TE Brevin Jordan, Miami OT Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma State G Sam Cooper, Merrimack C Drake Jackson, Kentucky Defense CB Greg Newsome, Northwestern Asante Samuel, Jr., Florida State S Paris Ford, Pittsburgh DE / Edge Wyatt Hubert, Kansas State Daelin Hayes, Notre Dame Payton Turner, Houston OLB Isaiah McDuffie, Boston College ILB Nick Bolton, Missouri Anthony Butler, Liberty DL DT Special Teams P K LS Links to Past Years: 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 |

Jordan’s production at Miami was inconsistent... mostly due to bad offensive systems/QB’s until last season... but he’s a physical freak who is WR-like similar to Kelce. |
Updated, thanks!
Going to be tough this year to get a solid list but we'll do what we can |
His position should be OW, offensive weapon. Would thrive in Andy's scheme, imo.
|
If he there at 31 do the Chiefs take him or pick up someone else up.

Pooka is a good player, but I don't think he's got a lot rattling around that dome of his.

Yeah, that list is from Chiefswire. I actually started a thread about it last night (my link came from Yahoo but they also publish on USA Today).
|
So my first attempt was pretty strange.
1st: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB Notre Dame 2nd: Jalen Mayfield OT Michigan 3rd: Tommy Togiai IDL Ohio State Not really need picks, but they were all good value. I think spags could have fun with Owusu. |
Tangential (I understand all these names don’t go on the list in this thread), but interesting none the less. I know we, and every other NFL, visits most D1 pro days be default, but it can be telling to see some of the smaller schools listed.

Final Edit after working rough PFN’s interview articles: all of the below are direct quotes from players saying they met / interviewed with every team at the Senior Bowl. Not sure if that’s enough to add them to the list.
Just read a USA Today article talking about how, in a typical year, NFL teams interview 15-30 prospects at the Senior Bowl. Due to COVID and the lack of a combine, most NFL teams interviewed quite a bit more at the Senior Bowl this year, including many who interviewed all 128 prospects. ———————————————- Peyton Turner said he talked with every team at the Senior Bowl and had follow up Zoom calls with about 24... not sure if that’s enough to add him to the list. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles...pect-interview Similar quote from Josh Palmer (again, not sure if it’s enough to add to the list) https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles...pect-interview And Austin Watkins https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles...pect-interview And Elijah Mitchell https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles...pect-interview And Nico Collins https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles...pect-interview And Drake Jackson https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles...pect-interview |

The game film and highlight tape suggest this kid is a bulldog and plays bigger than his size. He’s a monster in the run game but is not the greatest in man-to-man coverage. Those measurables are nothing to write home about from the article, but if he drops to the late fourth or beyond, he might be a great replacement and upgrade on Armani Watts who has done little to nothing in his tenure in KC. |

Chief Wire’s final list (published today). Unless I’m blind, I think we’ve got all of these on the list already.

Props to the dudes who participate! |
Unless we missed someone....we didn’t draft anyone that we had talked to

That said, each of the interviews revealed that the guys had met or zoomed with our scouts. Oh well, we'll get them next year when they meet in person. |
