*** 2014 Prospects: Chiefs Visits / Met / Work Outs *** - Page 5

Dante84 · 09:52 PM

Hello, friends; It's that time of year again.

3 years ago, this thread had a few guys that we selected in the draft. 2 years ago, this thread had 4 of our 8 draft picks. Last year we got Kelce, Fisher from the visits we recorded.

Last year, around this time, the big question was the QB. Dorsey and Reid did their homework, and spoke with almost every legitimate candidate. After this, they chose to make the trade for Alex Smith. Conversely, we brought in almost no Safeties or CB's, and ended up picking up a bunch in FA.

This should help us get an idea not only for the draft, but also to get an idea for what positions Dorsey and Reid feel need improvement. It might foretell a trade or FA acquisition.

We can apply that same logic to this year's search. We desperately need a Safety, and we need WR's. I could see us visiting with a bunch of safeties, only to snag a big one via trade or FA. We might not bring in a lot of WR's, and grab a bunch via FA.

This year will allow us to monitor Dorsey and Reid trends and patterns, because we will have two years of data to work off of instead of one.

I am going to try to link to comprehensive player profiles when they exist, courtesy of draftbreakdown.com. For some of the lesser-known guys, it may just be a random video or profile from their team website.

Reminder as to how this works: When you guys see a solid lead on someone we are interested in, post it in here (links, please). Still trying to keep this sucker legit.

Brandon Dixon - Talked to Chiefs scouts. Adding him.

Louis Nix - Met with Chiefs. Adding him.

Chris Borland - Informal meeting with Chiefs. Adding him.

Kenny Ladler - Met with Chiefs at Sr. Bowl. Adding him.

Will update tonight.

Thanks!

Arizona

Thirty-one of 32 NFL franchises made the trip down to Tucson (New Orleans was the only team not there) to see the Wildcats workout, and while running back Ka'Deem Carey was the main attraction, there are a couple of others who could hear their name called on draft weekend.

Chiefs talked with Crooks! I'll be adding him later.

I wonder how many we will draft that we did NOT have a visit with?

Okay, so I have a question.

How should we approach Pro Days for this exercise? Should we add the draftable prospects from those teams we visited? Only the specific players we were seen "talking to" at the pro days?

I also don't know the teams that well, so I'll need help determining which players to add to the list.

Appreciate the insight, fellas.
