They also take a while to develop, a lot of the OT take until their 25 to really hit their full potentioal. Again tough when your in the win now mode.
Also, as good as Mahomes is he is very tough on the tackles. He does not take consistent drops, he moves around a ton. Tackles do not know where he will be.

Yeah, this later in the draft thing is cope for Veach, there are hundreds of great and former players selected in the later rounds or not drafted at all, see Brady or Priest Holmes as just some examples. Sneed was a 4th rounder. I do agree on Mahomes being hard on tackles, he wets the bed too much and gets antsy and starts moving, or he HOLDS IT WAY TOO LONG trying to find time for the slower TE's to get open.
