I'm just trying to understand something here. We need some vets at LT, DE and Corner and guys like Okung, Clowney and Hayward are out there but we're still waiting??? If we sign them after the draft does it protect any potential comp picks for next year?? Just wondering because I can't fathom why Veach and co are waiting around tbh.

As we get closer to the NFL draft, it seems less likely that KC does a signing unless a really good team friendly deal can be made.
Late in the afternoon on the Monday following the draft, free agent signings no longer count for the comp pick formula.
If you look at the current KC roster and start counting players, the draft and signing of college UDFAs could actually fill several of the Chiefs current needs.
After the draft, we may still need some veterans. Spotrac.com shows us as having $12,568,349 of cap space. Overthecap.com shows us as having an effective cap space of $9,221,691. Not sure what effective cap space is and why the difference. We still need money to sign draft picks and teams like to keep a few million for in season possible roster changes.
Point is, unless we do another contract renegotiation, Chiefs really don't have a lot of money to spend on free agents.
