I attempted to organize this list to try and draw some conclusions. This is assuming that NFL pre-draft visitors has some type of meaning when it comes to the draft. Also noticed that there were more than 30, so does that mean that the former rules don’t apply, the list is wrong, or some of these guys count as local, so they do not apply to the 30 count? I think if a player is from the area or went to school in the area, they are considered local and don’t count against the limit.
So what kind of guesses could you make by looking at this list of Chiefs pre-draft visitors?
1. The Chiefs will draft a QB. There were 5 QBs going from rd 1 to 7. It seems that at some point the Chiefs will pull the trigger on a QB to be drafted.
2. KC brought in a lot of offensive linemen. Conclusion, the Chiefs will draft an offensive lineman and probably two. Surprisingly one of them looks to be a 3rd round guard. Three guys were brought in that will be guards drafted in the 3rd or 4th round. If the Chiefs draft a 3rd round guard, what does that mean for current guards?
3. The WR position has 6 guys on the list. They range in the round that they would be picked. I think that means they will add a WR at some point in the draft.
4. Outside linebacker went from 1st round to FA. My conclusion, if they don’t draft a guy in the first they go with players on the current roster like Andy Studebaker and add some college free agents.
5. All of the RB visitors lead me to believe that a running back will also be taken somewhere in the middle of the draft.
6. A DT will also be taken but all of the defensive ends, leads one to think they might also go there in the draft. If that happens it would seem Shaun Smith might be gone.
7. The free safety visitors make you think they might want to draft one and maybe push Lewis to a back up role.
8. Tight end is not a priority but maybe if a special player like TE Luke Stocker fell to the Chiefs in the right draft round, they could draft him.
