Covitz: Chiefs' rookie Allen named to 'All Value Team'
|
|
While most of the attention from the 2012 draft focuses on
first-rounders such as Chiefs nose tackle Dontari Poe, the 11th overall
pick, there’s more to a draft than one round.
Former NFL executive Michael Lombardi of NFL.com has unveiled his
2012 NFL Draft “All Value Team” in which he selected guard Jeff Allen,
the Chiefs’ second-round pick from Illinois, as one of 12 players taken
from the second round on who hold the most potential for immediate and
long-term value to the teams that selected them. full story...

Rose: KC Chiefs saying all the right things about rookies after mini-camp
|
|
The Kansas City Chiefs completed their rookie mini-camp Sunday with their 38 players invited and coaches, broadcasters and many media members in attendance have nothing but good things to say about what happened during the past three days. Head coach, Romeo Crennel, spoke glowingly about players such as first-round pick, Dontari Poe, as well as fourth-round receiver Devon Wylie as the players went through a ton of drills. Poe stood out from the rest of the players simply because of the individual attention he got from Crennel and defensive line coach, Anthony Pleasant. He must feel like he has just won the jackpot at PartyCasino! full story...

SI.com: Poe front and center as KC rookies report
|
 It finally hit Dontari Poe that he's playing in the NFL when walked
into the locker room at the Kansas City Chiefs' practice facility.
There were the helmets. Bright red with that arrowhead logo on the side, as shiny as a child's new ball.
"It was like, `Yeah, I'm here now,''' Poe said Friday.
Now it's time to prove he belongs.
The former Memphis tackle was picked with the No. 11 overall
selection last month, a 350-pound stopper expected to fill the biggest
hole along the Chiefs' defensive line. The pick was widely panned given
Poe's lack of production in college, but his impressive physical skill
set means he might be the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in years.

SN: Kansas City Chiefs 2012 NFL Draft Review
|
Top Picks Analysis: General manager Scott Pioli's emphasis on building through
both lines was crystal clear in this draft, with the Chiefs utilizing their
first three picks on players who operate in the trenches. The plan began with
the selection of the polarizing Poe, an athletic freak with a massive frame
and superior strength who's remarkably light on his feet, to presumably anchor
the middle of the defensive front. Scouts have wondered whether his short-
armed build is best suited for a two-gap plugger, however, and his failure to
dominate at a lower FCS level has raised questions as well.

Judge: Team draft needs: Kansas City Chiefs
|
|
The Kansas City Chiefs
are coming off their fourth losing season in five years, and
that's not good. But this is: They finished only one game out of
first in the AFC West, and they did it without their star running
back and star safety for most of the season, without their
starting quarterback for most of the second half and with twice as
many turnovers (28) as the year before. No, the
Chiefs aren't that far away. In fact, they won the AFC West only
two years ago and were in the middle of a division race last season
until quarterback Matt Cassel bowed out.
There is talent on this roster, and the needs aren't widespread.
But Cassel must stay in the lineup and return to his error-free
play of 2010, while the Chiefs must do a better job defending the
run and taking care of the ball. Or we're looking at another losing season.
