Per ESPN:
Describe this offseason in three words: Draft must count
Yes, the Chiefs lost in Super Bowl LIX, but they still have a loaded roster. General manager Brett Veach said "our free agency will be our draft" in the offseason with regard to key player acquisition because of a tight salary cap situation and a long list of the Chiefs' own potential free agents that they would like to re-sign. Kansas City will have four picks in the first three rounds, having acquired an additional pick early in Round 3 by trading cornerback L'Jarius Sneed to the Titans last offseason. -- Adam Teicher
So any hopes of a real upgrade at LT are pretty much null and void. They're not trading up because they have no picks, and it sounds like they have no intention of being players in free agency so will need them all. Guess we get to look forward to D.J. Humphries and Kingsley battling it out, and Mahomes' talent continuing to be wasted with a creaky, gremlin offense.
I can't find that quote anywhere from Veach, but even as lame as Teicher is I don't think he'd put it in quotation marks if it wasn't actually stated. Could just be playing coy, but I doubt it.
