East/West Shrine game features interesting prospects for KC

[RunKC]

Darren Waller WR/TE Georgia Tech

@MockingTheDraft: Going through Shrine Game measurements. GaTech WR Darren Waller is officially 6'6 5/8, 242 pounds. Scary.

Expected to run in the 4.5 range.
Projected like a Devin Funchess hybrid. GT always has a physical freak every so often (Megatron/DT). Would be a very nice fit in rd 4. Easily has the frame to put on another 10-15 lbs.

Wes Saxton TE South Alabama

Another good TE prospect. Has good speed at 4.7 and has the frame to get bigger. He's a very willing blocker who puts the effort in. This would be a great mid round pick IMO.

@JoshNorris: Move TE Wes Saxton: 6'3 7/8. 243 lbs. 9" hands. 32" arms.
(Via @OptimumScouting)

He was also a baller as a receiver. Nobody (Jake Ryan included) could cover him.

@Steveospeak: TE Wes Saxton is a match-up nightmare there wasn't a LB who could cover him well in this group in 1-on-1's.

Xavier Williams DT Northern Iowa

@JaredStanger: DT Xavier Williams came in at 6'2"/325 with very good 33 4/8" arm length.

This young man is a homegrown talent. Grandview high school here in KC. He's got the size, length and solid quickness.
Check this out: 11.5 sacks the last 2 seasons and he set a record for blocked kicks in a season with FIVE.
This guy looks like this years Brandon Williams.

Chick!

Chickillo's apparently having a good game?

I can't catch the game right now. :/

He's probably not a fit in 3-4 defenses now that he's slimmed down.

John Miller. Dear God draft this young man

Tre McBride... I've had him mocked a few times late.

My thoughts exactly.

Dude is a beast.

He's very reminiscent of Gabe Jackson last season. Anchors extremely well, very powerful and once he's locked onto a defender, it's pretty much over.

He carries his 320 very well and his functional on-field strength will translate to the NFL.

It's why he's been on all of my 2015 mocks.

So what round does Miller go in? 2nd or 3rd?

Who knows?

Could be anywhere from 2nd to 5th.

Last year, a lot of teams had Gabe Jackson as the best guard in the draft and he went in the middle of the third (though, after a terrific rookie season, in hindsight, he would have/should have been picked before a lot of the "tackles" did who ended up at guard who weren't anywhere close to his performance).

NFL teams get fascinated by "athleticism" and "speed" and power guys like Jackson and Larry Warford drop into the third round even though they actually end up being the best OG's at the next level because of their power. John Miller is very similar to Jackson and Warford and I think he'll make a terrific guard at the next level. He's fundamentally sound, is strong like bull, maintains his balance well and has excellent on-field awareness.

Right now, I'd say he'll go where Warford and Jackson went and he'll come off the board in the third.

Andy loves his powerful olinemen. His limited ability as a pulling guard sucks for Charles, but probably wouldn't deter Andy and Dorsey.
