2021 Recap
A rough 2nd half of our 4th straight AFC Championship game prevented us from going to our 3rd straight Super Bowl.
It was an up-and-down season with some incredible highs and confusing lows. Our Offense was at sometimes mediocre, and other times incredible, with the final game being a microcosm of this. Our Defense went from worst in the league, to the best in the league, back to somewhere in between when it was all said and done.
Last year Veach attacked the OL in the offseason with incredible results. He made a key mid-season trade for Ingram, which helped our terrible pass rush become decent again. He nailed the '21 draft with Humphrey, Bolton, and Smith.
This offseason should present a defensive mini-overhaul, focusing on the Edge position, improvements in the secondary, and just a few skill-player upgrades on Offense. The list of holes is not long, but they should be improved if we want to continue our status as the top team in the AFC.
Overview
This is the 11th 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.
Last year was rough in that COVID prevented people from attending most of the major events (No combine, virtual visits, etc...). While we did get Nick Bolton on our list, I'm hoping for better results this year.
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, other sites' write ups, or their team's website.

They probably brought him in to ask him why his combine performance was a bag of dicks. He doesn't look that unathletic on tape, that's for sure. He still runs bad routes and has spotty hands, but he wasn't that level of shit. [Reply]
