Here's Field Yates' blog. He's a scout and former Haley assistant:

He is an informative writer and has the inside scoop often on the Pioli regime and scouting in general.

He's on right now, hosting by AP:

Let us know if anything good comes up.

Direckshun · 03-25-2012, 07:34 PM

I'll listen most of the time. I'll do my best.

Yates: Hillis will be the fan's favorite player next year.

Thig Lyfe · 03-25-2012, 07:35 PM

What's a Chiefs?

After Thomas Jones, any productive RB that spells for Jamaal Charles will be a fan favorite.

Most obvious need for the Chiefs is NT, ILB depth or a starter at the Belcher position, and interior offensive line. A "third anchor" to replace Lilja.

Direckshun · 03-25-2012, 07:38 PM

Talking about Poe: production wasn't there despite great Combine number, but that won't matter if Pioli & crew think he can learn the fundamentals of the 2 gap.

The guy that makes more sense every day to Yates is Kuechly. Doing the whole sploog on him now.

ILB in Crennel's system is "not easy to do," but Kuechly can come in Day One and master it.

I bet his phone will be bugged by monday night

Direckshun · 03-25-2012, 07:41 PM

Two hardest position to find a position to find in the Crennel defense is the NT and the Mike backer (the Belcher position).

He likes Belcher, but Kuechly reminds him of Mayo, and would play the position superbly. He's "sure fire." Not a luxury pick.

Oh, what? So he agrees with? I like this guy.

Direckshun · 03-25-2012, 07:43 PM

Interviewer asks the same question I have: isn't Kuechly more of a Will backer (the DJ position)? Can Kuechly hit the hole?

Yates: Sure. Kuechly played in a poor program in Boston College last year, and Kuechly was pretty much the one and only talent on the field, which resulted in him scrambling all over the field last year, giving him the look of a Will. But he can play the Mike great, and will stay on the field all three downs.

Not even Ray Lewis is a three down guy. DJ could play five downs if he had to (lol), but Kuechly would stay out on third down because he can drop so well.

Direckshun · 03-25-2012, 07:45 PM

Q: What are they looking for at the NT?

Yates: You gotta be football smart and mentally strong. Selfless, doesn't care about the fact that he's going to have shit stats year in and year out. Low center of gravity, gotta bend and squat like a mother****er, and move laterally well. Leverage is everything, contain the center and clog everything.

Chiefs didn't think Franklin could be that, despite his physical ability. We don't even know if he's a part of bounty-gate though.

Interesting view, and that was my biggest question about Kuechly also. If the team feels the same way, I could definitely see him being the pick.

Says Chiefs would be fine with a 30 tackle .5 sack NT on the year.

Ta'amu in the draft it is.

ChiefMojo · 03-25-2012, 07:46 PM

Said likely Belcher/Seiler would be run package guys (and I'm sure Special Teams) with Kuechly on the roster.
