ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate

Big advantage for us. I think this is how we found Wharton.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Because of the lack of additional exposure this offseason, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/chiefs?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#chiefs</a> GM Brett Veach believes that a lot of undrafted players will not only make teams, but make legit impacts next season. He said we have to be one of those teams that can find those players.</p>— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1366409454464294913?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 1, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

A second year player, a broken leg, and a slot cb.

Much work to do. Hope that Keyes makes the rotation as well.

Well he’s talking about 2022 and beyond.

Ward will most likely be back for 2021.

I still don't believe this statement. I think he is deliberately being deceptive. Or wildly optomistic.

What benefit would it be for Veach to be deceptive?

Playing the GM game. Make other teams believe we aren't drafting/looking for tackles.

Well considering both of our T’s are over 30 and coming off serious injuries, teams will still be expecting us to take a T early anyways.

We draft 31. Not fooling anyone. Has no impact on F/A tackle signings either.

GM'S do this all the time - even when its clearly obvious what they are doing.

If Veach listed LB along with DL and OL, I’m going to assume Zaven Collins is in play should he make it to 31.

After what happened with Breeland Speaks, Veach looks at metrics/ SPARQ heroes more often on Defense

They need a SLB and someone to take over the Mike next year if they get rid of Hitchens.

You do understand that the draft continues beyond 31, no?
