Veach is aggressive. That’s just who he is. He did the same thing with Nnadi who was a great pick. Relax.

2nd round.
Mahomes was 1st round. Top 10. The Chiefs said, "Mahomes is the best we're going to get at QB, because he's the best we've seen in the draft for quite a long time." He wasn't just some dude in at the top of their board in the 2nd round.
We constantly hear about players the Chiefs bring in because they had them rated high on their boards during the draft process in prior years. They just didn't get a chance to draft them.
That ****ing happens. It happens all the ****ing time. You can only depend on 7 draft picks each year, which means you often WON'T be able to take the guys you like.
Why couldn't Speaks have simply been one of those guys? Hell, Kendall Fuller was one of those guys and we ended up getting him anyway. Why was Breeland ****ing Speaks so goddamn special? At this point, the only common thread I see is that there was a new guy making draft decisions last year. Therefore, I blame him.
