Yeah and Gaines and Russell were also drafted in the third.
You don't trade up just for the sake of trading up but the fact is you are much more likely to get a quality corner and who can contribute immediately at the end of the 1st round or early 2nd round than in the 3rd round.
Some fans think the team can be a SB contender in 2019.
I personnally think, and I'm pretty sure Veach and Reid think the same, that this team can go all the way as early as this year.
I have said it before, the Chiefs mainly need to draft (or trade for) a CB, a DL and a safety. If Veach can manage to get quality play out of 2 of those 3 new players, I really like this team going into this year. It's just about how good Mahomes can be early then.
BTW, I know LG is a concern as well but remember Alex SMith had a career year with Witzmann there so I fully expect a lower pick there but I'd be OK rolling with Ehinger or Witzmann.
