*** 2012 Prospects: Chiefs Visits / Met / Work Outs ***
 

As the draft nears, and as the immediately following UDFA period begins, any players that the Chiefs are connected to will be placed in this OP. Please add to the list as you hear names, and I will update frequently.


Did this last year and it was a huge ass thread full of videos; this year, it will be a little cleaner. I'll divide it by position groups, and place a link for the accompanying highlight video rather than embedding it.

I stickied this.

RG3

Just to clarify....

This thread is for players who the Chiefs have rumored interest in, in terms of scheduling work outs, bringing in for visits, seen chatting with at Pro-days, combine, etc.

Not just players that us fans want to draft.

Also, to give the thread some credibility, please include a link or source from where you got this info.

Thanks!

Damn. That white boy has some shake n' bake

Wylie (White Dante Hall)
Wow that kid has speed and ver agile... Wouldn't mind him.

or a Steve Tasker/Bill Bates Special Teams type of madman

http://walterfootball.com/eastwest2012practice6.php

Kansas City - Army linebacker Steven Erzinger and South Carolina defensive tackle Travian Robertson

Pioli still looking for his 'Wes Welker' which means he might not be satisfied with "peanut cluster" to this point.

I like this kid Wylie:thumb:

HOLY ****ING GOD I HATE THIS ****ING PATRITOS BULLShIT

2012 Senior Bowl Team Interest
by Alfie Crow on Jan 23, 2012 6:55 PM EST in 2012 NFL Draft

Being at the Senior Bowl this year, after practice you can see which teams pull which players aside and chat them up. Obviously every team is going to talk to everyone, so take these however you wish but this is what I observed at the North practice this afternoon:



Brian Quick, WR, Appalachian State: Jacksonville Jaguars

Vinny Curry, DE, Marshall: Jacksonville Jaguars, San Diego Chargers

Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State: Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks

Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati: Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs

Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa: Baltimore Ravens

DeVier Posey, WR, Ohio State: Baltimore Ravens

Kendall Reyes, DL, Connecticut: Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers

Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State: Denver Broncos

Johnnie Troutman, OL, Penn State: Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers

Donnie Fletcher, DB, Boston College: Houston Texans

Bobby Wagner, LB, Utah State: San Diego Chargers

Doug Martin, RB, Boise State: Tennessee Titans

Audie Cole, LB, NC State: Houston Texans

2012 Senior Bowl: Prospect Meetings Report

Kansas City - Ohio State running back Boom Herron, Iowa State cornerback Leonard Johnson and Penn State offensive lineman Johnnie Troutman

Shawn Loiseau @ShawnLoiseau
@BleedChiefs ya I've talked to a couple scouts from the chiefs. Pat Sperduto is the best.

Anyone know much about Boom?

Found one! CB Jamell Fleming

http://newsok.com/ous-jamell-fleming...line_ou-sports

“I felt much better today, got my feet under me and got a better feel for what they were asking us to do,” said Fleming, who also was approached by a Kansas City Chiefs scout on his way off the field. Fleming has talked with plenty of other teams this week.

2012 Senior Bowl: Prospect Meetings Report

Kansas City - Arkansas defensive end Jake Bequette

2012 Senior Bowl - Player / Team Observations

Matt McCants
Kendall Reyes
Harrison Smith

Bequette would be an OLB I assume?

correct

Possibly a Mike Vrabel type? He's played Tight End also. Might be a good 4th round selection.

2012 Senior Bowl: Prospect Meetings Report

Kansas City - Virginia defensive end Cam Johnson

IMO Bequette woudl be a solid pick. Plays with a high motor. Can rush the passer.

If we are copying the Pats then when are we getting our version of Tom Brady? ;)

I thought we already had him.

Judging my last year's thread, the Chiefs drafted or signed 4 of the players that were in this thread FYI.

Justin Houston
Jerrell Powe
Shane Bannon
David Mims

Someone needs to update the OP.

He's in your ava...Nevermind.

That makes me worry about the corners they are looking at and Carr not being back.

Busy week... I'll knock it out this weekend

Pead looked pretty good on that return.

Updated 1/29

We done good.

Anyone know anything about the NT's we talked to?

http://walterfootball.com/seniorbowl2012game1.php

Here was some recaps from yesterday that I thought was pretty good.

OSU recently had it's Pro Day. Hardin reportedly ran a 4.38 40.

You can see a scout in a Chiefs hat in the background, so they were in attendance.

Better view:

He's sitting next to a bronco scout, I smell trouble.

Aaron Wilson ‏ @RavensInsider

Source: WVU OLB Bruce Irvin to visit Bills, Browns, Patriots, Jets, Panthers, Titans and Chiefs: http://bit.ly/GKgShy

I've noticed through the years since Pioli took over that the Chiefs and Ravens are usually scouting the same players. At least our scouts are in good company.

Would Irvin be around in the second round?

he might be around till the 6th due to the destruction of property at a sandwich shop incident

So the Chiefs haven't brought anyone in for workouts?

I need to update this thread; been busy with work.

Definitely need as much participation as possible to get this rocking and accurate. I'm unable to research on my own most of the time, but I am happy to throw the list together when given names.

That being said, I haven't heard of many pre-draft work outs just yet, Rust. Most of the stuff I've seen is buzz here and there about who we may be interested in.

I'll get this updated soon, fellas. Thanks for your help, and patience.

That's when he was a juvie.

He got his GED, played in junior college, and graduated with a college degree while being a stellar athlete. I call that turning a leaf.

I would take Dan Herron, this guy is vastly underrated because of his suspension and his missed games this year. He isn't a 1st round talent, but he is a second round talent. He has breakaway speed, and he is a tough runner, he doesn't go down easy. He also has good hands, he was a constant threat out of the back field. I think you may be able to get him in the 4th, if so, that would be a steal IMO.

I actually like Isiah Pead alot.

He was arrested last week for the sign thing.

Oh wow. I had not heard about that.

Still, I hope his draft stock plummets until Pioli says, "This is ridiculous. The guy is faster than most option QBs in college" and takes him in the 6th round. That would be perfect.

maybe the guy just really hates sandwich shops?

*Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill (4/?).

:clap:

Seems the QB position isn't getting updated. We don't need no stinking QB.

that list sucks. we worked out a safety from LSU and alabama

This was just recently

Does soon mean after the draft or before ?:D

Bruce Irvin Reportedly Visiting Chiefs

He is appealing both the 3-4 teams as an outside linebacker and 4-3 teams as a defensive end. Among the teams he is visiting are the Bears, Browns, Chiefs, Dolphins, Forty Niners, Jets, Panthers, Patriots, Texans and Titans. Part of the reason so many want to see him is coaches want to put him on the board and watch tape with him, and have a chance to see what makes him tick.

Marvin McNutt meets with Chiefs, Dolphins, Bengals
 

Source: Marvin McNutt meets with Chiefs, Dolphins, Bengals

Although ultra-productive Iowa wide receiver Marvin McNutt hasn't drawn as much buzz as other prospects, the NFL has him firmly on its radar.

The Hawkeyes' all-time leading receiver has met with the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals.

McNutt is a big target at 6-foot-2 1/2 and 212 pounds who has good hands and runs sharp routes.

At the NFL scouting combine, McNutt ran a 4.54 in the 40-yard dash and registered a 37-inch vertical leap, a 10-2 broad jump, a 4.07 in the 20-yard shuttle and a 7.15 in the three-cone drill.

He played in the Senior Bowl.

As a senior, McNutt caught 82 passes for 1,315 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was named the Big Ten Conference Wide Receiver of the Year and named all-conference.

As a junior, McNutt caught 53 passes for 861 yards and eight touchdowns and was named second-team all-conference.

As a sophomore, McNutt caught 34 passes for 674 yards and eight touchdowns. McNutt finished his career atop the Hawkeyes' charts for receiving yardage (2,861), ranking second with 170 receptions. He tied the single-season mark for catches last season with 82 receptions and set the record for yardage with 1,315.

He owns the Iowa records for single-season touchdowns (12) and career touchdowns with 28, ranking 10th in career scoring with 168 points.

McNutt chose Iowa over Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

We met with Doug Martin and attended Ryan Broyles workout. I would love to have either one of them

LSU safety Brandon Taylor visited the New York Jets on Thursday, according to a league source.

He also has visits with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins.

Taylor has had a dinner meeting with the Arizona Cardinals and had a private workout for the New England Patriots.

The 5-foot-11, 209-pounder ran a 4.58 at his Pro Day workout and bench pressed 225 pounds 16 times.

The three-year starter and team captain had 160 career tackles, 11 1/2 for losses, 15 pass deflections and four interceptions.

Last season, he started every game and finished third on the team with 71 tackles to go with two interceptions.

Yeah, i guess Pioli has been reading CP.

I thought dude was going to keep this thread updated. C'mon man.

I like the Taylor kid from LSU as a safety.

Updated! effing finally. Sorry guys.

likey

Doug Martin is sick. What round is he projected? I'd take this dude in the third... maybe even second, depending how comfortable we are with JC's knee and PH's attitude.

He will go somewhere in the top of the 2nd most likely. I would love him.. reminds me of Ray Rice

Every year so far Pioli has drafted someone that we have had in for a visit with our 1st.

If that is the case, based on the posted visits, we are going to draft Brockers.

This is my take as well. It will be Brockers.

I think they will try to get Tannehill and take Brockers only if they can't get him and can't trade down.
