It's pretty incredible.
And I think you have to give a lot of credit to Andy Reid for designing offenses that play to the OL's strengths, Andy Heck for developing some of the talent and given the OL the depth they desperately needed (Prince Tega Wenogho has developed well), and of course Pat Mahomes for developing his pocket presence to Peyton Manning-levels of excellence. |

Chiefs Kingdom doesn't deserve Veach.
It's embarrassing when you find a Twitter thread of Chiefs fans bitching and moaning about the man, like there are better GMs out there. |

Pat has more time to throw than he ever has
Pat has the best defense he's ever had Now we just need the young receivers to come along and we can get really, really weird.

What has Veach done, though?
He did what most GMs can easily do, and spent huge dollars at two of the five positions. Veach gets credit for Thuney and (eventually) Taylor, but most GMs can do that kinda thing. What Veach did at the other three positions is what separates him from the pack. Notching an All Pro center at the bottom of the second round, notching a Pro Bowl caliber guard in the 6th, and inking an effective LT for peanuts in May, are all ungodly accomplishments. If a GM can pull one of those things off, you're doing pretty well. The fact he's done it at all three positions is ridiculous. |

You're acting like drafting well and keeping costs for all those players low is irrelevant. The reason WHY we've been able to give bigger contracts to the OL is that he's drafted incredibly well.

Sometimes you win the world series with a team of home run hitters. But you can do it just as well with a team of guys who can just keep the line moving (see: Royals).

Now that I look at it....that is one badass, productive draft. Has there ever been a Chiefs draft that good? Kinnard is the only bust out of the group, and I think saying "bust" is a stretch considering he was only a 5th rounder.
