That is a HUGE differential.

It’s significant in the sense that Veach has consistently needed to be more savvy with his drafts as he doesn’t have the luxury of getting blue chip players in the draft as they are almost always gone by the time KC picks. It’s also why they have to take raw, high upside guys like Kingsley and hope that the coaches can develop him.

It’s far harder to build a roster of elite talent always picking at the end of each round and why dynasties are so hard to sustain in this era.
