'15 draft could define Packer-like Chiefs for years to come from FS Kansas City
"I think they're in a great spot," longtime talent evaluator Russ Lande tells FOXSportsKansasCity.com. "And they have a lot of picks, the draft is very deep, and you've got (general manager John) Dorsey and (director of player personnel) Chris Ballard and (coach) Andy Reid all working together until they have the people in place."
It's not just that it's a large haul to play with, with experienced hands doing the playing. It's also a haul that might determine the direction, in a general sense, the future of a good chunk of the current two-deep. Because check out the Chiefs' vets whose contracts are scheduled to be up after this fall, and take a deep breath: quarterback Chase Daniel, linebacker Justin Houston (assuming he signs his tender), linebacker Derrick Johnson (although his situation might be fluid), nosetackle Dontari Poe (ditto), safety Eric Berry (double ditto), cornerback Sean Smith (triple ditto), defensive end Mike DeVito, safety Husain Abdullah, safety Tyvon Branch, wide receiver Jason Avant and offensive linemen Jeff Allen and Donald Stephenson.

Speed, athletic ability place Emporia State WR Austin Willis on NFL's radar from Chiefs Digest
Willis, a native of Topeka, Kan., may not have to worry despite missing out on a postseason all-star game and the NFL Scouting Combine if his two Pro Day workouts are an indication.
He made up for those absences by posting 4.38 and 4.39 40-yard dash times at Emporia State's Pro Day on March 11 in front of the Kansas City Chiefs, the only team in attendance. Both 40 times project in the top five performances among wide receivers at the Combine.
Willis produced a 39 1/2-inch vertical jump, which projects as sixth-best among wide receivers at the Combine, and 21 bench-press repetitions, marking the second-most at his position in Indianapolis. Willis also posted a 10-foot-5 broad jump, a 4.38 in the 5-10-5 Short Shuttle drill and a 7.12 in the 3-cone drill.

Park West Church receives Tim Tebow's message from The Knoxville News Sentinel
McGinnis said Tebow didn't give a speech, but took part in a question-and-answer session with the head pastor, McGinnis' father Gerald. After taking his slight jab at the Vols, Jeremy McGinnis said Tebow told the congregation one of his role models is former Tennessee safety Eric Berry, who arrived in Knoxville when Tebow as a junior and played against him twice.

The Fantasy Fox happily offers his early, early look at the Top 100 playmakers for the 2015 fantasy season, excluding kickers, defenses and special teams.
For obvious reasons, the list doesn't include any prospective rookies from the 2015 draft class -- particularly the bumper crop of stars-in-waiting at tailback (Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley, Jay Ajayi, Ameer Abdullah, Duke Johnson, Tevin Coleman, Todd Gurley, Jeremy Langford, etc.) or receiver (Amari Cooper, Kevin White,DeVante Parker).

The What Risdon Would Do 2015 NFL Mock Draft from Real GM
18. Kansas City Chiefs: Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami FL. Surprise! I'm much more bullish than most on Dorsett, who is more than a speed receiver. He's crafty. He gets around coverage. He can do it like this, he can do it like that, he can do it like an agile bat. Sorry, listening to the Beastie Boys as I write this part.
