Chiefs *** Brett Veach Appreciation Thread *** - Page 11

teedubya · 08-21-2023, 09:08 PM

I haven't started a thread in many years, but I was thinking this morning (after searching to find one of these type of threads on here) about the Chris Jones scenario. And it would seem to me based on what we know about Veach and Reid, that we shouldn't be concerned.

The ability this team now has to find and develop talent is OTHERWORLDLY.

Chris Jones is an AMAZING talent, but what's the difference between $25m and $30m at the end of the day? Not THAT much. He's set. Jones is just pissed off that the Chiefs didn't sign Frank Clark, so he's being a bitch about it.

But Brett Veach ALWAYS finds a great talent to replace whoever is in there.

He found Patrick Mahomes II and begged the Chiefs to draft him.

The way he assembles teams is something we've never seen in KC and maybe never before seen even in the NFL. And he was born in 1977, IIRC.

So, In Veach I Trust. He will be a pro football Hall of Famer, IMO.

What are some of your favorite things that Veach has done that you'd like to thank him about?

as good as a draft we had Philly actually probably had a better one

Color me shocked!

You are seeing why the consistently good front office's draft well. Its how they have stayed relevant. They are well run teams. Doesn't hurt when you have a Mahomes/Allen/Lamar

Better? I am not so sure. Comparable? I agree. Veach and Roseman are easily the best two GMs in the NFL right now and it shows.

**PHOG** · 04-27-2025, 09:01 AM

Ravens always seem to have good drafts too.

Kiimo · 04-27-2025, 09:39 AM

Philly, Chiefs, Ravens do always seem to make great decisions.

Sorry Bengals, you uh do not

Chris Meck · 04-27-2025, 09:39 AM

Man, the big thing to me is that I can very easily see a role for every single player they took here. Like there's no squinting necessary. I can see every player contributing right away.

And getting Royals, Bassa, and Smith as late as they did all feel like highway robbery.

If Simmons works out, this will be the draft Veach is most remembered for

He filled every need without reaching a single time

That last bit is key. It's a lot easier to look like a GM genius when you have someone like Mahomes as your QB. Just ask Bill Belichick.

He absolutely smoked this draft, wizardry on Day 3….and if Simmons works out, it’s one of the greatest heists in draft history.

Bull ****ing shit.

I'm so over the ****ing Eagles non-stop dick sucking since the SB. This is just horeshit.

You don't even watch these prospects dude. You read scouting reports. You're probably basing this off of what others are telling you too.

Go suck Eagles dick on a Eagles board.

staylor26 · 04-27-2025, 11:00 AM

The Eagles first 2 picks were really good. I love Campbell and Mukuba.

The rest of their draft, especially with the amount of picks they had, is as meh as it gets.

It's a B+ draft. First 2 picks are most important and they nailed those. Absolutely nothing to suck them off over, but that's the new thing to do. I get it.

Calm down, Francis

Also, Campbell was as clean as a prospect as it gets and very obviously fell for medicals. If the Chiefs get a ? for Simmons, it's only fair for Campbell too. Even if it's to a slightly lesser degree.

If the Chiefs and Eagles first round pick both work out, then the Chiefs did way better than the Eagles.

The difference in positional value plus the Chiefs snagging a fifth to take a LB as well is damn near something Veach would do to the Bills.

I’m as skeptical of Simmons as anyone, but that move has the potential to absolutely depants the Eagles.
