Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes trust Brett Veach and staff to execute the draft

There are a lot of significant voices in the halls and meeting rooms of the Kansas City Chiefs’ team facility at One Arrowhead Drive. On a given weekend during the season, the opinions of head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes (or any of the team’s other great players and coaches) can lead to a victory.

But during the offseason, general manager Brett Veach runs the show — and you won’t hear anyone say otherwise.

Veach and his staff do their most impactful work preparing for the NFL Draft. On opening night next Thursday in Detroit, the NFL’s defending champions hold the 32nd (and final) pick of the first round.
