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.

No offense to you sir, but Charley Casserly is a hack. His hot takes were relevant about 25 years ago if not 45 years ago. Old windbag with his goofy accent is just for entertainment purposes now. [Reply]
- McCaffrey like out of the backfield with great hands and explosiveness in the open field-did not see enough of him between the tackles in his 2016 highlights to evaluate any power.

very good power with deceptive quickness and speed.
My 2 favorites out of all these backs are these guys below. Both are extremely quick with great vision and exceptional change of direction(fantastic quick feet) with take it to the house speed on every play. Power is deceptive as well better than you think. All these guys have JC esque ability but these 2 guys below you really feel like you are watching JC himself IMHO.

Thank you for that. I dont see the point in drafting Hill when we already have Ware, feel like they're similar type of backs.
I dont want to draft Samuel where he's projected to go, just havent seen enough between the tackles success for a high round RB.
McGuire is a guy who's name keeps getting mentioned here and there but I just dont see where he stands out in a class as crowded as this one.
I'm a big fan of Dayes, I think he'll be a steal for someone. [Reply]

Hill is much faster than Ware and can take it to the house where Spencer cannot. Their power is about the same I agree.
IMHO McGuire and Dayes are almost identical to each other. Don't know if you watched all of the McGuire vid I put up but the last half of that vid he really shines. Either one of these guys is fine with me.
I can see why Dorsey would be interested in Samuel just for the great fit for a Reid out of the backfield or down the field RB passing attack. Just one more offensive weapon for the defense to be accountable for along with Tyreek ? Deadly. [Reply]

Watching Dayes looks like a Charcandrick West type of player, but a much better one! what is this guys expected draft range? guessing he's 3rd/4th? I'm in if that's the case! [Reply]
