"Well, we made it all the way to Overtime of the AFC Championship. With a solid draft, we could get over the hump." - 2019
We did it! Super Bowl Champs!!! And with a really great crop of rookies: Thornhill, Saunders, Fenton and Hardman were notable standouts.
This is the 9th year in a row that we will be tracking the college players the Chiefs have publicly or privately expressed interest in leading up to the NFL Draft.
Here's how we did in 2019. The first 5 guys we drafted last year were on our list. Just incredible.
For those who are new, the way this operates is that we collectively monitor various social media sources, blogs, articles and reports for news of the Chiefs' interest in a certain player. When posted in this thread, I will update the OP to include the player. *Please provide the link to the article, the players name, position and team.
I am going to try to link to player profiles when they exist, courtesy of The Draft Network, a pretty sweet new website.

I was thinking about him when I did my mock the other day and just couldn't find it in myself to put him at 32. I think he goes much higher and can't fathom him getting past Green Bay. [Reply]
RB
Ke’Shawn Vaughn, Vanderbilt
Darius “Jet” Anderson, TCU
Anthony McFarland, Maryland
Zack Moss, Utah
Lamical Perine, Florida J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU
This should be our #1 pick if he is still there. Developing a legit running game would take this team to the next level. Dobbins catching passes out of the backfield from Mahomes would be electric. [Reply]

Hard pass. With major holes at CB (and only 2 under contract), LB and IOL I would pass on Sweetness, Barry Sanders, Dickerson, et al at the end of the first round. It makes zero sense taking a RB round 1. [Reply]

And that's why 32 teams should be THANKING THE GOOD LORD that you're not their damn GM :-) . We just won the SB with no great CB's, LB's or guards!!..so I really don't know why folks are so obsessed with those positions but then run down the need for a competent running game. Swift might very well be there for us at 32 and IF Veach takes him I'd be more than happy with that choice and why? Because he's a damn good player who could start first day, that's why. [Reply]

and no great RB. So what's your point exactly?
No in the first. Probably not in the second. Third? Yeah, okay. [Reply]
