Apparently Dorsey, Reid, and the entire Chiefs' defensive contingent was at Oregon's Pro Day...interesting....

Dion Jordan anyone?

Supposedly was scheduled to meet with Reid too.

They were just killing time there until Oregon State's Pro Day today. :p

Dion Jordan/OLB/Oregon official visit list thus far includes Kansas City, Jacksonville, Cleveland, Arizona & New York Jets....

9 QBs that we've talked to. We're drafting a QB somewhere.

Sweet, will update later today

KC was at Iowa States Pro Day, and we had few guys put up awesome numbers! Jake Knott will be visiting KC.

Would love to see Gooden get drafted. While undersized and not demonstrating an exuberant amount of pass rush technique/reps, I think he could be either A) a serviceable OLB or B) (what I really would like him as) a coverage ILB that can play all 3 downs.

Most immediately would say: "Why Sorter, don't you want to have a thumper as your Mike in a 3-4? Isn't Gooden the exact opposite?"

Yes. However, with the way the NFL is played now, teams don't just run 1st and 2nd down and throw on third. You need quality ILBs who can drop into coverage in base, nickel, and dime fronts. IMO, you need those more than a quality thumper (who will likely play 1 down consistently ala Belcher). With more teams utilizing 3W and 2TE (who can run and catch) sets, it seems exceptionally prudent to ensure you have ILBs who can cover.

The 49ers are a fantastic example of this, however even they have started to remove Willis occasionally against passing formations as he ages.

You need two ILBs who can cover. You also need a reliable, aggressive nickel corner as well as a pass rushing 3 tech. These positions that were and are still commonly referred to as "sub package players" are going to be viewed as starters in the future.

The 3-4 is no longer run out of a base defense. It is almost 60% 4-3 under and nickel variants. In short, I agree with Sorter on the matter. You need a linebacker who can drop into coverage and one who is athletic enough to be a safety.

Well from the looks of this list we have on our radar:

QB :thumb:
LB
DL,DE
LB
with a splooge of OT,WR

No CB's in that list

Is this an opinion or fact? I'll include if this is legitimate.

Updated

I read a tweet yesterday that said Jake Knott will be visiting the Chiefs. Pretty sure it's legit.

Cool, I'll add it in a little later
