Another playoff run, and a winning season has us drafting at the tail end of each round.
This is the 6th 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.
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 draftbreakdown.com. For some of the lesser-known guys, it may just be a random video or profile from their team website.
Add Charles Harris Missouri edge rusher, Tarell Bashham Ohio edge rusher, Zach Cunningham Vanderbilt LB to Chiefs interviews.
Other confirmed players who had formal interviews scheduled with the Chiefs include: Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer, North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, Pittsburgh quarterback Nathan Peterman, Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya, Louisiana-Lafayette running back Elijah McGuire, Ohio State running back/receiver Curtis Samuel, North Carolina State running back Matt Dayes and Wyoming running back Brian Hill.
It's who Dorsey doesn't talk to is who he is really interested in and I assure you he will waste a few legit 15 minute interviews to put up a good smoke screen.:-)
It's poker time fellas !! And Dorsey knows Denver is desperate to some degree. This will be a fun dramatic draft with Denver already slotted ahead of us. [Reply]

So lots of cornerbacks (Moreau, Wilson, White, Sutton, Jackson, and Clark) running backs (McGuire, Samuel, Dayes, Mack,and Hill), quarterbacks (Kizer, Trubisky, Watson, Mahomes, Peterman, and Kaaya), and a few edge rushers (Harris and Bashham).
The Chiefs also met with Mitch Trubisky informally, according to BJ Kissel. There seems to be more interest in a quarterback this year than in previous years. Indeed, I went back and checked our old Chiefs draft interests trackers dating back to 2009 and there are more quarterbacks on this list than we usually see. Of course, we don’t know about every interview every year ...
Running back
Ohio State RB / WR Curtis Samuel
