Really? A lot of those guys are pure speed guys.

Tate's a technician of the position. He's pretty fast but not blazing fast. Runs outstanding routes. And makes all the catches. He'll be a solid but unspectacular slot guy, probably.

If I was to compare to anybody, it would definitely be another Charlie Weis guy--Deion Branch.

Manningham, Jennings, Steve Smith (USC) and Lee Evans all have similar size, speed and college production as Golden Tate.

I hope Tate does poorly at the combine. I would love to land McClain, Cody, and Tate with our first three picks.

As far as OLB in the 3-4 Norwood is probably the best prospect. Who would you say is?

That's not what you said. You said best LB, which is inclusive of all LB positions.

Good lord Todd McShay is slaughtering Tebow every chance he gets.

Not saying Tebow is a great Pro QB prospect, but Todd McShay is generally full of McSh** on most things.

I don't think Tebow will be a great NFL QB, but it's hard for me to believe that he wouldn't be at least as good as some of the others in the league right now.

Well it almost seems like he's taking it personal.I mean I know it's his job to give his opinion and all,but damn!!! He's making Tebow sound like JaPorkchop.I don't know if the kid will make it at the next level or not but I'm very curious to see.

McShay,McDaniels,both full of McShit!

Why not? The guy CAN'T even take a snap from under center right now. He has a very hard uphill climb ahead of him.

The Kansas City Chiefs talked with a pair of cornerbacks and a big wide receiver after yesterday's practice according to DraftCountdown.com.

One player was headed to play baseball with the Rangers until last week.

Info on the players, after the jump.



CB Perrish Cox (5'11", 189 pounds), Oklahoma State

Chad Reuter of NFLDraftScout.com says Cox is helping himself this week with solid play, especially because other corners haven't looked so sharp.

He's got sub 4.5 speed and a knack for breaking up passes but he also missed curfew twice during bowl week causing him to miss his team's game. Definitely something for scouts to keep an eye on. On the other hand, this could be a positive causing him to slip if the Chiefs were interested and getting good value.

He's expected to go around the second round.

WR Riley Cooper (6'4", 214 pounds), Florida
Another interesting story here. Cooper originally opted for MLB, even receiving a $250,000 bonus from the Texas Rangers before deciding football is the sport he wants to play. He told the Rangers, 'Thanks but no thanks', and is focusing on football.

He caught 51 passes for over 900 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2009. He's listed as running a 4.5 but he says he can get higher than that.

He expects to go anywhere from the 2nd-4th round.

CB Trevard Lindley (5'11", 178 pounds), Kentucky

He had an early season ankle injury that sidelined him for a month and struggled at times because of that.

He runs about a 4.5 and is expected to go in the 4th-5th round.

We've got word that the Kansas City Chiefs met with a few more players at the Senior Bowl this week.

Scott Pioli was known for taking a look at late round quarterbacks so one of them isn't a huge surprise. There's also two fullbacks and a strong safety trying to prove he can player cornerback as well.



QB Dan LeFevour (6'3", 229 pounds), Central Michigan

Chiefs GM Scott Pioli took a late round quarterback somewhat often while with the Patriots and LeFevour fits that mold. He has good size and some scrambling ability but his accuracy hasn't been great at the Senior Bowl practices.

He's projected to go in the 3rd-4th round.

SS/CB Kurt Coleman (5'11", 189 pounds), Ohio State

Coleman is trying to prove he can play both safety and cornerback in the NFL. He feels some of the nickel defenses he played in at Ohio State will help him tremendously as he makes the leap to the NFL.

He's projected to go in the 5th round and runs about a 4.5 40.

NFLDraftScout.com Profile.

FB John Connor (5'11", 240 pounds), Kentucky

He got the late invite because a LSU running back failed a physical and couldn't play.

He's one of the few fullbacks that could actually be drafted, which is a rarity of sorts. He's an underrated runner and receiver and played in a school record 54 games, which means there's plenty of tape on him.

He could be drafted in the 7th round or a UDFA.

NFLDraftScout.com Profile.

FB/HB Rashawn Jackson (6'1", 239 pounds), Virginia

NFL Draft Scout has had him as their top fullback for some time. He's more versatile than John Connor it sounds like and has the athleticism to be a great pass/run blocker and catch the ball out of the backfield.

He could be drafted in the 4th-6th round.

Looks like we're looking for that big fullback who can pound the ball a few times a game. Seems to be pretty popular in the NFL now. Guys like Peyton Hillis and Le'Ron McClain are showing that fullbacks can make a big impact running the ball.

You don't need a FB to do that. Montario Hardesty, Ben Tate, Anthony Dixon, Toby Gerhart, Charles Scott and LeGarrette Blount can all fill that role at HB.

It's interesting to me how I'm reading practice and player reviews from numerous sources and they all conflict with each other. I think I've read totally conflicting reports on most of the players there.
