Tackle play was a problem at times this year so I fully expect him to fix that completely. DL did pretty good last year but they are definitely thin and I see him attacking that area as well.

Yeah, it's kind of wild that KC isn't in the market for drafting another LB or CB this year. I mean, we don't really have to draft a single one. And Veach will probably draft a OT, but Andy Heck and Wylie just proved we don't need to expend real resources on RT. We play a ton of 13P, so the RT is going to get a plenty of help from a TE most of the time anyway (Hiya, Blake Bell!!!), so starting Niang and backing him up with . . . Prince/Allegretti, is probably fine in 2023.
And Spags just fielded a patch-work DL that still finished the season as one of the best pressure-producing units in the NFL, a defense that generated the 2nd-most sacks in the league, so why invest a ton of capital there, either? Easily could re-sign Carlos/Frank, draft a DE and a DT, and roll with Danna and Saunders, even Nnadi and that'd probably be fine.
The unit that needs the help is in the WR room. Veach is probably figuring out how to build up the receiving corps in this FA/draft cycle, now that the LT question has been solved.
