Pat probably knew the 4-5 players that the Chiefs were going to target if they stayed at 32, so when the time to pick came and the Chiefs were not able to trade down, I'm sure CEH was pretty obvious to Pat.
The relationship is still to be celebrated. And the credit, I feel at least, belongs to Veach for having the ability to be comfortable with his star player to let him in. It means he has complete trust in Pat. Which is awesome, and while it seems obvious to us as we see it, trust me, I don't think Dorsey or Pioli would have this type of relationship with Mahomes.

Veach did a post first round interview that he said moving down wasn’t worth it (indicating they had offers to do so) and that CEH was the guy they targeted.
Andy Reid said CEH is a future HOF quality player.
