PrintThere are a few schools of interest to the Kansas City Chiefs hosting a Pro Day today including Alabama and Kansas.
The Chiefs have checked out Alabama a few times this season and names like Rolando McClain and Terrence Cody have been involved speculation surrounding the Chiefs draft.
In fact, both McClain and Cody skipped out on Alabama's trip to see President Obama in preparation for today's festivities.
Because of the local connection, Chiefs scouts have also seen quite a few KU games so there's another pro day to keep an eye on.
After the jump, the complete listing of the 17 pro days today.

1. Alabama

4. California
5. California-Davis
6. Colorado

12. New Mexico

Anyone have a clue
Why so many schools would schedule their pro-day on the same F’ing day?
You’re only hurting your players, especially at the non-elite schools.
I have been man-crushed by Cody.
(at 2a of course)
My bold prediction and I think our best chance at moving down in the 1st. Bret Favre retires, Tavarris Jackson is not retained or leaves and the Vikings trade up, with our beloved Chiefs, for Jimmy Claussen.
WRITE IT DOWN!
does utube have any video on him playing?

ok so I finally went to youtube to see Mt. Cody
Boy, I think he’d be impressive at about 320 under Haley’s tough fitness routine.
He sure does have a strong push…and when he manages to tackle someone, they completely disappear underneath him.
I’d wana draft him just so he doesn’t have a chance to tackle Cassel.

agreed
I think he’ll be a force at 340 or even 350
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
draft the entire Bama roster
done deal.
1 McClain, ILB
2a Cody, NT
2b Mike Johnson, RG
3 Javier Arenas, CB/KR/PR
4 Colin Peek, TE

Hahaha........
that’s actually not a bad draft for us.

I'd be cool with McClain in the 1st and Arenas in the 3rd
but that’s about as far as it goes.
Bask in the glory that is Kwame Harris. Poor Alex...
Any more info on KU pro day?
When/where? I’m on campus right now.

NM
Anschutz Pavilion 1030am

What the fuck is the "anschutz pavilion"?
I’ve been in lawrence for the last 6 years and know that campus like the back of my hand but I’ve never once heard of the anschutz pavilion.

Unless that's the name for the "new" training facilities?

McClain’s 40 time may be the most important figure of anybody leading up to the draft for us. If He runs sub 4.7, he’s back in the picture big time at #5. Higher than that, and he probably won’t be considered, unless we trade down. I hope he runs a sub 4.6 and makes it a real hard decision for us to bypass him.
You think the 40 is the key?
I think it’s a nice thing to see, but less important than the shuttle and cone-drill times. I would think that change-of-direction ability and 10/20yd. splits would be more important than third-stage acceleration.
Boycott Facebook. It's lame. Inform your real friends that you're going to communicate with them like a normal human being, and then delete your account. Seriously.

Is there any chance you won't want him
After today?
Just curious. If so, maybe give me some #’s.
I didn't know Al Davis
had an account here!
Seriously though, I don’t need my 3-4 ILBs to be able to cover WRs man-to-man so if he runs a 4.7 (which he more or less did/does) AND Berry is off the board at 5, I don’t see how you can not draft McClain. His intangibles and athleticism are through the roof and are, IMO, definitely worthy of the #5. And fyi, I can’t stand the SEC so for me to feel that strongly about both McClain and Berry is saying something, I’m not just some homer that wants my favorites to succeed in the NFL.

Cal pro day
Syd’quan Thompson- CB- Ive seen this guy play, and he can flat cover. Got mad wheels. Might slip through the cracks a little bit. Be a good guy to look at….
I'd rather be a free man in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave
Agreed
People are sleeping on this kid.

"Experts" are saying...
3rd or 4th rounder, experts in quotations cause wtf do they know

I think he's another solid possibility in the 3rd or even late 2nd
Thing is, Daymeion (aka Dante) Hughes was a very similar corner in terms of his instincts, ball skills, game speed, etc. But then his slow 40 time dropped him to the very last non-compensatory pick of the 3rd round, which surprised me. He’s since been cut by Indy, picked up by San Diego, cut by San Diego, and picked up again by San Diego.
Sometimes there’s just no telling how much a lack of pad-free speed is going to hurt a guy in the NFL, even if he showed plenty of game speed in college. The word that comes to mind is “crapshoot,” I suppose.

I'd like to take this opportunity to once again say
that as a totally biased Jayhawk fan I’d love to see the Chiefs take a flyer on Kerry Meier or Dezmon Briscoe at WR, or Darrell Stuckey at S (if we don’t get Berry), considering they all play positions of need for the Chiefs.
I want nothing to do with Briscoe
The other two I’d be ok with late.
Briscoe
Loved him at KU….and it would give me the chance to yell “AWWW NOW THAT’S BRISCOE…BABY!” whenever he catches the ball.

Little tidbit from Bama pro day
Cody weighed in at 348 and did 32 reps of 225 on the bench press.

Wow
I’m beginning to think he won’t be there at 2a

He was chatting
With Rex Ryan at one point. Not necessarily anything but the Jets might give him a look.
Also, just to be spiteful, I’d like to note that 32 reps is the same amt thrown up by everyone’s hero Mr. Suh.
by alakan81 on Mar 10, 2010 1:17 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Cody at 348! Damn...So does that mean that he has one boob now instead of two?
Opinions are like A--holes, everyones got one.
