East/West Shrine game features interesting prospects for KC

[Saccopoo]

Reflective of the depth of the 2015 Draft, the East West Shrine game has some really good talent this year.

Guys who should be of interest for the Chiefs IMO:

East roster:

OL John Miller, Louisville

- The scoop: "I really like his power a lot. He's not going to be dynamic outside of his box, but he's got really noticeable power, and that keeps you in the league a long time." -- AFC scout on Louisville guard John Miller

The skinny: He won't make sense for teams that like to run stretch plays and get their offensive linemen in space, but Miller flashed plenty of power in his hands and an ability to sit down and anchor against pass rushers in one-on-one drills throughout the morning session.

Miller was particularly impressive at guard as he is an aggressive player who can create movement in the run game.

OL Jamon Brown, Louisville
OL Jon Feliciano, Miami
TE Wes Saxon, South Alabama
WR Tre McBride, William & Mary
LB Jake Ryan, Michigan

West Roster:

All of the West Linebackers (I'm still trying to figure out how in the hell the Shrine game ended up with these guys - all of whom should be in the Senior Bowl, and, apparently, all have been having a terrific week of practice with Vigil, Jones and Heeney being mentioned a lot in the practice reports.)

LB Zach Vigil, Utah State
-

Utah State’s Zachary Vigil really flashed with his ability to fill versus the run all week. He trusts his instincts and comes downhill quick, fast and in a hurry.

LB Taiwan Jones, Michigan State
-

His physical presence stood out on the practice field, laying the lumber on several occasions and drawing "oohs" and "ahs" from the crowd. Jones will struggle at times with his feel in coverage, but he displayed better than expected range to complement his pursuit speed to both sidelines.

LB Ben Heeney, Kansas
LB Tony Washington, Oregon
LB A.J. Tarpley, Stanford
OL B.J. Finney, Kansas State

As well, there are two Canadian prospects that have received positive attention this week:

LB Edmund Robinson, Newberry
DT Daryl Waud, Western Ontario

My three favorite players for the Chiefs in this game are OL John Miller, LB Zach Vigil and LB Taiwan Jones.
