Well, today we're seeing the culmination of a lot of research and a lot of great coverage by not just the AP staff but the community as a whole. In addition to me, Joel, Matt and others spotting these players, we used your help a lot while making this list. Thank you for that.
In case you haven't seen it yet, we've got a sortable table of at least 80 college players the Kansas City Chiefs have shown some level of interest in during this draft process. It could have been a private workout, a Senior Bowl/Combine meeting, the Chiefs attending a Pro Day or just rumored interest.
Keep this list handy during the draft and it will be fun to see if the Chiefs' picks line up with any of the players on this list.
One more time, it's all there...after the jump...
