No way that looks like Herm. That guy doesn't look nearly confused enough.

Arrowhead Addict posted a very interesting interview with Chiefs linebacker Mickey Pimentel, a second year player out of California. Kudos to AA for getting the interview.
I'll never get tired of Herm quotes like this one about Darren McFadden -- "You see the home run hitter, a fantastic football player. He's a good kid. And that's what you have to realize, he's still a young kid. When you pick a guy like that, you need to have a good locker room around him."
Wednesday was Pittsburgh University's Pro Day and the Chiefs attended the personal workouts of Panther offensive linemen Jeff Otah and Mike McGlynn, according to KFFL.
LSU DT Glenn Dorsey, OSU DE Vernon Gholston, Virginia DE Chris Long, Michigan OT Jake Long, Arkansas HB Darren McFadden and Boston College QB Matt Ryan have all been extended invitations to come to New York on Draft Day at Radio City Music Hall.
If you haven't been reading Bob Gretz's articles on building an offensive line, you really should read them today. Here's the description -- "Over the next 10 days, we are going to take an in-depth look at the 12 best offensive lines in the league last year, where the personnel came from and how each team put the group together." He even uses the blogger's best friend- lists! (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)
Interesting. Larry Johnson has a 10-1 shot to win the rushing title. I don't know much about gambling but that seems to be quite generous.
Lots of good stuff in the fourth installment of the WPI round table.

The AP Mock Draft continues with the Cincinnati Bengals pick, which I'll post in a bit here. I'm still working on that list of college player visits to Arrowhead. I'll hopefully have that finished today or this weekend.
