      Chiefs 2014 Draft Review



      1.22 DT Deon Chandler 43/80 - Virgina Tech - We consider Chandler to be one of the biggest steals in the late first round. A consensus All-Conference player in his final two seasons with the Hokies, Chandler ripped off 38 reps on the bench. Combined with solid agility and speed drills for a DT, we expect Chandler to only get better through the mentorship of our veteran DTs. He should start opening day.

      2.16 S Artie Carr 20/62 - Syracuse - Carr was highly prized by the KC coaching staff, hence our deal with Washington to offer up a future 2nd and swap 2nds just to move up to 2.16 to grab him. Carr wowed scouts with his incredible agility time of 6.98 for a 6 foot 206 pound man. Normally those numbers are reserved for shifty wideouts and corners. Don't let the quickness fool you though, he also pumped out 20 reps on the bench and recorded a solid 4.53 in the forty. Carr however is very green, and may need a year or two to develop into his own.

      3.22 LB Bill Erickson 19/65 - Vanderbilt - Erickson still has some question marks surrounding him, he had a solid but not spectacular combine, but appears to have the skillset and fundementals to be a contributor at the pro level. He may move to middle linebacker in hopes of replacing the aging but future HOFer Richard Seigler.

      4.22 T Cole Marsh 24/60 Washington - Marsh excelled at the collegiate level as a left tackle with the Huskies. His 34 rep bench press and solid blocking skills helped land him with the Chiefs at 4.22, a steal we hope. He looks like he'll need some time develop, but he should be am excellent run blocker at the least.

      5.22 CB Terrance Earls 22/49 Cincinnati - Earls has alot of athletic ability, we hope it translates to the pro leagues. a 4.47 forty, 7.37 agility drill, and a 9'4 broadjump gives this youngster the potential to be a real corner in the FFL. Time will tell.

      7.22 RB Robbie Hearn 21/50 Georgia Tech - Hearn is a physical specimen. He skipped all combine workouts due to a nagging foot injury, but at 6'1, 242 lbs, he really adds some muscle to the KC RB unit. He is very intelligent but also carries with his very high volatility. We'llbe watching him closely throughout training camp.

        2016 Preview

        QB Charlie Frye and RB Ronnie Brown are out to prove the division goes through Kansas City. The problem is this team lacks any real treat in the passing game. The strength of this team is the offensive line. So if Frye gets 10 seconds to throw the football perhaps someone can get open. Rookie RG Devin Norris looks like a dandy of a player. The defense is nothing special. Artie Carr leads a solid group. Besides Carr there doesn’t seem to be any pro bowl caliber players. There are still some solid players on this team that will keep games close in the 4th quarter.

          2017 Preview

          Last season the Chiefs had their worst season in FFL history, managing only 3 wins. GM Melkiper is looking to right the ship and get the team out of the AFC West cellar this season.

          Quarterbacks:

          The signed veteran Aaron Rodgers to compete with Charlie Frye for the starting QB spot. Frye threw 18 picks against only 15 TDs last season, while fumbling the ball another 13 times. If he doesn't stop turning the ball over, look for management to give Rodgers a shot. The team also drafted a QB in the 4th round, taking Tracy Magazine out of Florida State.

          Backfield:

          Entering his 10th season, Ronnie Brown looks to be on his last legs. The Chiefs selected Charlie McAdams with the 12th overall pick and look for him and Brown to split the carries this season before taking over full time duties in 2018, if not sooner. FB Fred Cooper is one of the best in the FFL, and has been named to the All League 1st or 2nd team in 4 of the past 5 years. Cooper will be showing the ropes to rookie Lester Conway, who Kansas City selected in the 5th round.

          Receivers:

          The Chiefs will have to depend heavily on the running game this season, as they have an average group of receivers. 3rd year man Dexter Jackson looks to be the go to guy, but with only 54 career receptions, he has yet to prove himself. Jack Tucker was tied for the team lead with 57 receptions and we look for him to start once again. William Guidry was selected 35th overall, but looks to be at least a season away from being a starter. 2 picks before taking Guidry, the Chiefs selected TE Bert Seegert out of Nebraska. Seebert is already an excellant blocker, and can catch the ball when called upon. The Chiefs will need to find a way to get him involved with the passing game for it to have some success.

          Offensive Line:

          Entering his 6th season, C Andre Drew anchors this young, but solid, line. After battling injuries that lead to a sub-par performance in 2015, Drew rebounded last season by having his best year to date. The LG spot remains the weakness of this line, as Logan Mankins returns as the starter there. While Mankins can run block well, he has let up 29 sacks over the past 3 seasons. The RG spot, however, seems to be solidified with last years 1st rounder, Devin Norris. Look for him to continue to improve with a season of FFL experience under his belt. On the outsides, the 1st rounder from 2015, Duane Brown will continue to be a monster over at LT. Through 2 seasons, Brown has a key run block percentage of 41.8, while only allowing 3 sacks. At RT, Travis Glover will be given a shot to prove his worth. Glover is more noted for his run blocking and has only started more than 5 games in a season once (10 with SFO in 2015). Last year's starter, Cole Marsh will be backing up this season. Marsh was horrible at handling the pass rush, allowing 21 sacks in his 2 full seasons as a starter.

          Defensive Line:

          Emmitt Brown returns for his 2nd season, starting at RDE. Brady has the makings of being a good pass rusher, and look for him to improve on his total of 5 sacks last season. LDE remains a question mark, but looks like 7th round pick Cornelius Brooks will get the first crack at it. Most teams RT shouldn't have too much problems moving him around. The Chiefs might move Isaac Kiselak, who they signed as a free agent this offseason, there if Brooks doesn't produce. In the middle, they have a couple run stopping DTs in the likes of Allen Chart and Andre Fluellen. Look for 3rd round pick Matt Sato to work his way into the DT rotation as well.

          Linebackers:

          While not much of a pass rusher, MLB Mark Fiola is almost impossible to run on. His 94 tackles last season was a career high, but we expect him to break the 100 tackle mark this year. SLB Robbie Barraza is one of the hardest hitters in the game, but has a tendency to get burned in coverage, as he has difficulty reading the play right away. At WLB, Luther Pulley takes over as a starter as Bill Erickson will move to a backup role. Pulley doesn't stand out in any one area, but has no glaring weakness either. Don't except huge numbers out of him, but he'll be a solid starter this season.

          Secondary:

          With the 4th overall pick in the draft, the Chiefs selected CB Ben Streets, who should be a shutdown corner for years to come. Streets didn't grab a lot of picks in college, but he was excellant at sticking to the receiver and keeping him away from the ball. Opposite him, Marlin Jackson should see plenty of actions, as most teams will try to avoid Streets and attack the aging vet. FS Artie Carr is one of the best in the league. The A-Train will be looking to rebound from a subpar 2016 season in which he had no INTs and allowed a career high 41 passes to be completed against him. SS Sean Considine is entering his 10th season, but still has the skills to be a force in the secondary. While he won't reach the 8 INTs he had in 2015, look for another solid season from him.

          Outlook:

          The Chiefs don't have enough weapons to be a serious playoff threat, but they are better than they were last season. Look for them to return to .500 and finish 8-8

            Kansas City Chiefs 2022 TEAM PREVIEW

            Recent Records
            2018 8-7-1
            2019 6-10
            2020 8-8
            2021 11-5

            FA losses: ILB Lincoln Krzys (FA to Seahawks), OLB Slade Norris (FA to Rams), K Albert McElroy (FA to Dolphins), G Tyrone Wand (FA to Browns), DE Brandon Williams (FA to Titans), WR Arnie Sherry (FA to Panthers)

            FA acquisitions: OLB Paul Pozluszny (CIN), SS Tyvon Branch (ATL), QB J.B. Shultz (BAL), WR Rick Stanek (GBY), WR Neil Pierce (TBY), QB Orlando Mobley (STL)

            Most represented university: West Virginia
            Possible brothers/cousins? Quarterbacks, Lance and Wade Burroughs; from San Diego State and California respectively. Born in Texas and Oklahoma, respectively. Born more than 9 mo. apart (kinda important brotherly quality). And both are fairly athletic scrambling QBs.

            Draft:
            Kansas City may have struck gold with their 5th round picks. Both DT Joseph and WR Williams have potentials of 50+, and would be absolute steals if they reach that potential. Williams just might turn out to be the best WR in this draft.

            2.26: FS Darrell Stuckey (30/62)
            3-16: SLB Nathan Triplett (21/53)
            3.25: WR Jordan Shipley (21/44) unsigned
            4.24: TE Clay Harbor (23/51)
            5.01: DT Linval Joseph (32/50)
            5.27: WR Kyle Williams (33/59)
            6.26: QB Lance Burroughs (18/41)
            7.25: P Brent Bowden (45/54)
            UDFA: K Willie Clancy (32/56)

            Last Season:
            Turns out, Kansas City would have had to beat 3 division Champions to make it to the Big Game. They beat 2: Jacksonville and New England. They came up short, though, with a blowout loss to division rivals Denver (who went on to win the whole thing).

            2022 Outlook
            Once again, Kansas City is going to have to compete for the division title with the Denver Broncos. Plus, they are going to have to overcome a tough schedule to start out the season. They have 6 of their first 7 games on the road... plus the dreaded early BYE week.

            Offense
            Wade Burroughs put up impressive rookie numbers last season, as the number 2 overall pick in the draft, with a QB rating % of 89.7. With a season under his belt, look for him to improve on those numbers. At RB, Charlie McAdams led the league in rushing yards by over 120 yards to his nearest competitor last season. He is arguably, still, the best RB in the league.

            The Chiefs made a few attempts in FA to give Burroughs some more threats. They already had TE Seegert and WR Jackson as viable threats. But with the FA aquisitions of Stanek and Pierce along with the drafting of Shipley and Williams, they clearly were not satisfied with production.

            One of the strongest parts to the Chiefs roster is their offensive line. Led by 4-time 1st team tackle, LT Duane Brown, the Chiefs are 4 starters strong. Their weaknesses, however, are their RT and lack of depth. If anyone one on the line goes down with injury, they could struggle to find a quality stop-gap replacement.

            Defense
            The Chiefs also have a pretty respectable defense. On the defensive line, DE Rick Holliday is due for a break-out season. On paper he is one of the best DEs in the league. He has DE Emmitt Brady and DT Blaine Anderson to help take pressure off of him. Look for Holliday to crack the double-digit sacks this year.

            Linebackers might be the only recognizable weak spot on defense. They are solid in the middle with Travis Alcott, but are hoping rookie Triplett to reach his potential quickly.

            With the addition of FS Stuckley, Kansas City might have the best secondary in the league. Ben Streets has signed the long-term contract he was holding out for after being franchised and Vontae Davis finally had a good season, limiting his catches against to under 40 for the first time in his career and added 3 INTs to go with his impressive season. "A-Train" Carr is coming off of his first All-League recognition, making the 1st-team. Now rookie, Stuckey, is the wildcard in the bunch. If he pans out and reaches his potential quickly, then this already tough Chiefs defense will be a real scare every time their opponents try to throw the ball.

            Special Teams
            They have some decent punt returners on the team, but lack ANY kick returner threats. Also, they have a newly acquired punter and kicker. They are both rookies and are unproven. Hopefully they don't cause any problems in critical moments (week 12 is the only exception, in which I hope they do).

            Overall
            Look for Kansas City to make another strong playoff push and potentially contend for the AFC championship. But their lack of depth in some key areas (O-line and CBs, in particular) may prove costly if there are any injuries. If they stay relatively injury free, a 10-6 or repeat 11-5 isn't a farfetched prediction.
