I should add, I wasn't intending on listing prospects that I think the Chiefs will or will not consider based on historical precedence but really just listing prospects that could be a solid fit on the field from a schematic and role assignment perspective. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But solid point! Haha see I remember DadI and was gonna put him on there but when I looked it up I couldn’t find his injury. Must’ve happened after his college career in between the draft or something, I just don’t remember what it was. But two picks, mid to late rounders, in 7 years of drafting through two GMs? Might see some change with Veach, but I’m not expecting the needle to move too much more south than the 3rd. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly don’t consider injured guys just because I’ve noticed through the years they just ignore then, Was somewhat surprised with Niang, but he has huge potential, shutting down Chase Young a couple years back.

mayanfootball 174 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I'll add a Chiefs 1st.rd. pick from years ago as an example of how injuries can affect longevity of an NFL player. Percy Snow, LB, Michigan State. Drafted 1st.rd. at 13. In 1991, got hurt in training camp. Moped accident tore up a knee. Never really recovered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onejayhawk 372 Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Comp picks have been announced, though not yet the exact placement. Here’s an updated look at the eight picks that the Chiefs currently hold: Round 1, Pick 31 Round 2, Pick 63 Round 3, Pick 95 Round 4, Pick ?? Round 4, Pick 144 (Kendall Fuller comp pick) Round 5, Pick ?? Round 5, Pick 181 (Emmanuel Ogbah comp pick) Round 6, Pick ?? (Acquired in trade for RB DeAndre Washington). The NFL hasn’t yet announced the full draft order yet. We’ll soon know where the Chiefs are picking in Rounds 4, 5, and 6 once they do.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/03/10/kansas-city-chiefs-eight-2021-draft-picks-after-compensatory-pick-announcement/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicfre2011 14 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Two lesser known IOL prospects that could be a fit for the Chiefs: Kendrick Green, OG/C, Illinois Michal Menet, C, Penn State I have dug into Green a little bit and I think he could be a solid development prospect that could project to center for us (he has some experience at center but played mostly left guard).

nicfre2011 14 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I am really starting to like the idea of Alex Leatherwood for us as a round 1 option. SEC starting experience at guard and tackle. All-SEC recognition by college coaches. Size, length, and athleticism. Quality pass blocker and run blocker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
onejayhawk 372 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Pride is going to do the OL, one position at a time. First, centers. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/3/12/22324816/what-the-chiefs-should-do-at-center Contrary to my expectations, the team appears ready to let Reiter go. https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1370116185359060998?s=20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We run a zone blocking scheme. It requires more agility. Those players are a better fit for man/power blocking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most importantly he is very smart and a good technician. Watch the tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samsel23 1,348 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Osemele came into the “zone blocking” scheme and fit like a glove. They may be more suited for power, but they can definitely excel in a zone and it actually be more beneficial. Helps to have at least one guy clearing guys out, regardless if the rest are positional blocking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingseanjohn 2,937 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I'm not a big fan of Leatherwood on our line. But I do like Carman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
