Chiefs:Meet the 2012 Draft Class

ROUND 1: Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
Poe was an underachiever in college, where he played several different positions—even within a single game. But the Chiefs believe with good coaching and by leaving him strictly at nose tackle, Poe can be a productive player. At 6-3, 346 pounds, he can be difficult to move from the point of attack, and he moves extremely well for a man of his size. But again, he wasn’t productive and didn’t always play with intensity in college.

There’s a huge opening for him to be the starter by the beginning of the regular season if he claims it. The Chiefs have no other obvious candidate to claim playing time at the nose. The Chiefs believe he isn’t just a two-down player but one capable of helping on passing downs as an interior rusher. Poe will have to watch his weight if he’s going to be a productive player over the long term.

ROUND 2: Jeff Allen, T, Illinois
Allen was a four-year starter at tackle at Illinois, but the Chiefs may use him at guard. The Chiefs are set at the two starting guard positions but have little depth. The Chiefs liked Allen’s experience, which should shorten his learning curve, even though he’s going to be learning a new position.

Allen could wind up as the first guard off the bench as a rookie. He could also help as a reserve tackle this season. Longer term, he could be the eventual replacement for Ryan Lilja at left guard. Lilja had a down season last year and is heading into the final year of his contract.

ROUND 3: Donald Stephenson, T, OklahomaStephenson will likely be the third tackle this season. As a two-year starter at Oklahoma, he didn’t have a wealth of experience, so the Chiefs could be in trouble if an injury forces Stephenson into the lineup early.

Unless there’s an injury to one of the starting tackles, Stephenson’s rookie season should be a developmental process. His role after that could depend on whether the Chiefs are successful in re-signing left tackle Branden Albert, whose contract is up after next year.

ROUND 4: DEVIN WYLIE, WR, Fresno State
Because the Chiefs don’t have much speed at wideout or an obvious candidate to be the slot receiver, Wylie fills a need. He could provide immediate help out of the slot contribute as a return specialist. Durability has been a problem at times for Wylie, who missed all but one game in 2010 because of a stress fracture in his foot.

ROUND 5: DEQUAN MENZIE, S, Alabama
This was another need pick. The Chiefs had no quality backups behind starting safeties Eric Berry and Kendrick Lewis. Berry and Lewis are also coming off surgeries, though the Chiefs expect them to be ready. Menzie played cornerback in college, so he has coverage skills.

ROUND 6: CYRUS GRAY, RB, Texas A&M
With Jamaal Charles, Peyton Hillis and Dexter McCluster already in their backfield, there won’t be much room for Gray as a rookie, other than perhaps on special teams. Gray may never develop into a starter, but he could become a dependable back capable of helping on a limited amount of snaps.

ROUND 7: JEROME LONG, DE, San Diego State
Strictly a developmental player, Long doesn’t figure to get much if any playing time as a rookie. With Allen Bailey and Amon Gordon, the Chiefs have backups to starters Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson. Long will have to battle to make the regular season roster.

ROUND 7: JUNIOR HEMINGWAY, WR, Michigan
The Chiefs can afford to wait for Hemingway to develop, and they could eventually be rewarded. His 20.6-yard per catch average as a senior can’t be ignored. But Hemingway’s ceiling might be as a third or fourth receiver. He has trouble getting off the line and can be slow getting into his routes.

Pre Draft Visits: Kansas City Chiefs

League rules allow each team to bring in 30 players for predraft visits. No on-field work is allowed. The visits are simply an opportunity for the players to sit down with the coaches, as well as the personnel people, for any additional questions, football or otherwise.

Not every player accepts every invitation he receives, so teams don’t always get the first 30 players they requested. But coaches often will look at video with players to get a sense of their football awareness, or put them to work, marker in hand, on the dry-erase board to see how they dissect certain game situations.

One important fact to note from last years draft is, 21 of the NFL’s 32 1st round selections had confirmed pre-draft visits and/or workouts with the NFL teams they were selected by. So there is a good shot that he players below will get drafted if they’re on the board during the teams draft selection.

Below we’ll be updating the chart of pre-draft visits, if you have a player visit you’d like us to add to the chart leave a comment and I’ll add it. Thanks for your help in advance!

Chiefs Sign Madden Cover Boy Peyton Hillis

Gayle Saunders
Follow Him on Twitter

Chiefs signed former Madden cover boy and Ex Brown Peyton Hillis to a one-year, $3 million dollar contract.

When Hillis’ stock was high last year, he happened to turn down a bigger offer from the Browns last season. After some bad press and injury issues, Hillis will look to rebound in Kansas City. The positive here, Hillis with reunite with his old offensive coordinator from the Browns. Brian Daboll was in charge of the offense during Hillis breakout season in 2010.

The Skinny: This signing gives the Chiefs a nice insurance policy in case Jamaal Charles is slow to bounce back from his torn ACL. If Charles does return to form, the Chiefs with Hillis’ power game, could represent one of the best one two punch combos in the league.

Cowboys Sign Journeyman Kyle Orton

Cowboys have signed journeyman QB Kyle Orton to a 3 year deal, who last played with the Chiefs.

Orton’s free agency run was short and sweet as he only had one visit, which was the Cowboys. Looks like the Dallas front office put up some coin for his services as Orton could have found a starting situation if he played his cards right. When Orton was cut last year the Cowboys unsuccessfully failed to get him off waivers, but now they got him on the ranch.

The Skinny: The Cowboys looked to upgrade their QB situation by signing him as a “backup”, however if you look deeper into this signing, it may look like the Cowboys are sending a quiet message to Tony Romo. Orton may not be the flashy qb, but he tends to be reliable and tends to not make the big mistake.

Countdown to Kickoff: Chiefs

Jonathan Baldwin: Wont be ready for start of season

By Gayle Saunders

Looks like 1st round stud reciever Jonathan Baldwin will not be ready to take the field when the season begins. After sporting a broken thumb for the last couple of weeks he’s had his right thumb wrapped heavily. At tuesdays practice Baldwin was on the side running routes by himself.

Baldwin will not play in Thursday’s last pre season game against the Super Bowl champion Green Bay packers. When the time comes, Baldwin will be able to work his way back into the lineup as Dwayne Bowe, Jerheme Urban and Steve Breaston, are the top three recievers who can hold down the fort. Look for Baldwin to make his mark by mid season.

Dolphins add Larry Johnson for Veteran depth

By Gayle Saunders

Looks like the dolphins are looking for veteran depth at the running back position to backup Reggie Bush and rookie Daniel Thomas,as they just added Larry Johnson to the mix for insurance.

The 31-year-old Johnson was drafted by the Chiefs in the first round of the 2003 draft, he had most of his success in Kansas City for seven seasons. His most successful years were in 2005-06 where he had consecutive 1,750-yard seasons and ran for a total of 37 touchdowns.

Dolphins announced their signing via Twitter Tuesday morning. Before bringing Larry Johnson in they worked out University of Miami Alum Clinton Portis, and Ex-Giant Tiki Barber. The Dolphins waived running back Kory Sheets, who did not play all season due to an Achilles tendon injury.

Last season wasn’t quite that impressive for Johnson only gaining 2 yards on five carries in two games he played. The Redskins released him in September. His career totals are solid as he’s rushed for 6,221 yards and 55 TDS. However, over the last three season he’s only played in 16 games.
