"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.
Mississippi State offensive lineman Tyre Phillips,
Kentucky offensive lineman Logan Stenberg
I’m not sure he fits the prototype that Reid looks for in his guards, as Stenberg is a bit heavy playing near 330 pounds, but boy do I love this guy’s finish in the run game. He plays with some nasty. Not the most consistent pass blocker, but he moves bodies in the run game that’s for sure. [Reply]
