We have enjoyed plenty of Kansas City Chiefs news over the past 24 hours, with the NFL schedule being released. Some love the docket, while others hate it, giving us just one more debate to enjoy before the 2015 NFL Draft is upon us. Incredibly, that is only eight days away. In the meantime, here’s the latest news, all in one place.
Game-by-game predictions – Adam Teicher of ESPN.com
"The Chiefs haven’t beaten the Broncos since Denver was quarterbacked by Tim Tebow. Don’t count on things being different against Peyton Manning this time."
First impression? KC can get to 10 wins – Sean Keeler of FOXSports.com
"On the bright side, potential subplots abound, especially early. Look! There’s Romeo Crennel in Week 1! And Peyton Manning just four days later! General manager John Dorsey gets a lap in his old Wisconsin stomping grounds! Da Bears visit our shores for the first time since 2003! Todd Haley! Again!"
Chiefs scouting report: Benardrick McKinney – Michael Tavis of KC Kingdom
"The second round has a strong group of inside linebackers and would be the ideal spot for the Chiefs to grab one. Eric Kendricks out of UCLA is currently listed as the best inside linebacker, but he has a late first round early second round grade according to CBS Sports. If Kendricks is available to the Chiefs in the second round they should not hesitate to draft him, but what if he’s not?"
Jamaal Charles knows Chiefs’ biggest need – Joe Soriano of NFL Spin Zone
"But do you know who the Chiefs best player on offense is? Of course you do. Of course it’s Jamaal Charles. And do you really want him to run behind a line that has Donald Stephenson at right tackle and other question marks? Do you really trust Eric Fisher 100%? Fisher made quiet improvements last year, but the Chiefs still desperately need a better tackle than Stephenson anyway."
Chiefs tight ends visit Fort Leavenworth – Pete Sweeney of KCChiefs.com
