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.
