The Kansas City Chiefs are out in full force at the 2014 Senior Bowl and John Dorsey is covering all of his bases. While just about everyone from national draft pundits like Mike Mayock and Gil Brandt to our own AA talking heads agree that the Chiefs biggest needs are at wide receiver and safety, that’s not going to stop general manager John Dorsey from observing, scouting and “racking and stacking” all of the talent on display at the annual college “all-star” game.
The tweets have been rolling in hot and heavy today from all over the “Twitterverse.” Here are just a couple:

Dorsey now watching the 1v1 DB-WR matchups. Dude is covering his bases.

I’m sure, as Terez put it, Dorsey is indeed covering his bases. This morning in the Fix, I linked to an article from Mr. Paylor at the Kansas City Star where he said the Chiefs were interested in pass rushers. Now he’s looking at offensive line and defensive line and everything in between.
I’ll caution every Addict that the home stretch of the scouting process is just getting underway, so don’t put too much stock in anything at this point. I’m sure that Dorsey knows, just like the rest of us, what the Chiefs need. Now, we’ll just have to see what falls to the Chiefs this year with the 23rd pick.
