What's messed up is they didn't even draft 1st round WRs which always got publicized but it wasn't like they built an elite defense doing that. That's what Veach has gotten right, he's given Mahomes a top defense. Every year the Chiefs have been in the top half of the league in both points and yards given up, they've gone to the Super Bowl. The two times they've ranked in the bottom half of either yards or points they've lost in the conference championship.

I think you stole this take from me. :D

But absolutely right. They never rebuilt that defense into a presentable force. New Orleans made the same mistake with Brees.
