Dante84 · 10:43 AM

In opening his pre-draft Zoom videoconference, Chiefs GM Brett Veach said he wanted to thank the medical professionals who are doing their best during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brett Veach said the last 2-3 weeks, virtually, have been pretty smooth from a technical standpoint in terms of interviewing draft prospects & watching film while having meetings.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) April 16, 2020

In the last few days, Brett Veach & his staff have tried to go through many scenarios where the team could either stay with the 32nd pick or moving up or down. Veach said it's unlikely that the Chiefs move up a ton in the 1st round. Veach said the team is open to moving down.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) April 16, 2020

Brett Veach said the NFL will allow an IT person & a security person to be in his house to help with the virtually draft next week. Andy Reid will be at his house. Veach will be at his house. Clark Hunt will be at his house. Veach is slightly worried about the flow of the draft.

Brett Veach said the NFL is doing mock drafts to get a better feel of how the event will go virtually next week.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) April 16, 2020

Brett Veach said offensive line, cornerback & receiver are the deep positions in this year's draft class. Veach said there's a number of quality linebackers, too.

Brett Veach on Chris Jones: "We've had a lot of discussions with Chris & we have a lot of time. We're going to work through the draft. We know how talented Chris is. We're certainly going to work to maintain him, not just for next year but for the future."
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) April 16, 2020

(Paraphrased)

"I think there are a lot of people who will be available (late in the first round) that the public didn't think would be there."

"The (salary) cap is flexible and what we're able to do is flexible...there's an array of options."

#Chiefs GM Brett Veach said they had their eye on CB Antonio Hamilton since last preseason, when he was one of the guys they had targeted to bring in if he was going to be released by the Giants (before or during the season).
— BJ Kissel (@ChiefsReporter) April 16, 2020

#Chiefs GM Brett Veach explained that what he (and believes others are as well) are only worried about are last-minute trade deals when they're on the clock and how they work through those logistics and timing with the virtual environments.
— BJ Kissel (@ChiefsReporter) April 16, 2020

#Chiefs GM Brett Veach admitted they probably have fewer players on their draft board this year because of the virtual meeting environment.

Said it's "slightly" different. Not a lot fewer, but fewer nonetheless.

#Chiefs GM Brett Veach reiterates a few times that they are looking 2-3 years down the road as they approach the draft and building their roster.

Like I said before, Jones is here to stay long term. They have 3 months to work out a long term deal. It’ll get done

****! There's no way we'll be able to draft Joe Burrow now!

Bewbies · 04-16-2020, 11:15 AM

2-3 years out statement if you read into it puts a lot more stuff outside of QB on the table with those high picks.

Also, it's how every team should approach the draft. You really do want the player for more than his rookie year.

**TribalElder** · 04-16-2020, 11:16 AM

Veach seems nice!!!

Thank God the Chiefs have arguably the best and most savvy GM in the NFL currently to deal with this unique draft/offseason.

Imagine Carl Peterson or Fat Scott trying to navigate this shit.
