Latest Updates On The Chiefs 2012 NFL Draft Interests

by Chris Thorman on Mar 19, 2012 6:18 PM CDT in NFL Draft 2012

Amidst the rather busy 2012 NFL free agency talk, we have for you the second update to the Kansas City Chiefs draft interests chart of the year.

We've added two players since our last update two weeks ago - Cal DT Vaughn Meatoga and Wisconsin G Kevin Zeitler. The Chiefs checked out both players at their respective college's Pro Days. Chiefs defensive line coach Anthony Pleasant had dinner with Meatoga in California earlier this month and a rep for the Chiefs helped run Zeitler's workout in Wisconsin. The Chiefs are also reportedly working out Western Michigan WR Jordan White recently as well.

Here's the list of Pro Days the Chiefs have reportedly been in attendance at: Wisconsin, Cal, Colorado, Colorado St. Cincinnati, Louisville, Rhode Island, Illinois and Hawaii.

If Wylie develops into a Wes Welker type player like people seem to think, losing Bowe wont hurt us nearly as much. I feel that Baldwin can easily be a #1 WR and Breaston is a great 2/3 WR. Im still hoping we can resign Bowe to a reasonable deal, but if we cant bring him back I dont think it will hurt nearly as bad. Not to mention Hemingway out of Michigan..I really like that guy. He's also got a Bowe sized body.

They have to bring Bowe back even if they need to franchise his ass again. You can't get just let talent like that walk. Franchise him and trade that SOB if he is too expensive for the age.

Muench breaks down AFC West draft
May, 3, 2012

By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com

I caught up to Steve Muench of Scouts Inc. to get one thought that jumps out to him about each AFC West team’s draft last week.

Let’s take a look:

Denver

The drafting of Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler in the second round: “I like Osweiler. But it is a risky pick since the Broncos just signed a young backup in Caleb Hanie. There are other needs to address in the second round. But I get why Denver likes Osweiler and I think he can develop into a starter. He has a lot of tools and a great upside. He moves much better than people think. He has a funky release and he has to become a better decision maker, but there is a lot to like about him.”

Kansas City

The drafting of Fresno State receiver Devon Wylie in the fourth round: “I think Wylie can make an impact right away. To put him between their two big receivers (Dwayne Bowe and Jon Baldwin) and he can be very dangerous. He’s explosive and he knows how to get open. I think he can catch 40 passes and average 15-20 yards per catch.”

Oakland

The drafting of Utah offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom and San Diego State linebacker Miles Burris in the third and fourth rounds: “(Oakland general manager) Reggie McKenzie didn’t have a lot to work with, but he did some good things. Bergstrom is a guard or a tackle who will be a starter some day. He is a solid player. Burris is a guy I like. He is a heat-seeking missile, who creates a lot of explosion when he hits people.”

San Diego

The drafting of Michigan State running back Edwin Baker in the seventh round: "It was huge for San Diego to get Baker in the seventh round. I thought he’d be a fourth-rounder who could sneak in the end of the third round. He is an effective, hard-nosed Big Ten running back who lacks an ideal frame. He can be effective. It’s incredible he lasted until the seventh round."

I think they tried to trade him. He wants more than any team will pay him long term. I dont mind franchising him as many times as they can though. Make him want to play every year for that next contract.
