As the draft approached, Veach sold Reid and then-general manager John Dorsey on Mahomes.

“Brett, obviously with retrospect now, did a tremendous job on scouting Patrick and then getting first, Andy, and then later, John Dorsey, excited about him,” Hunt told reporters in October.

By the night of the draft, the entire Chiefs brain trust aligned with Veach. They didn’t need a quarterback, because Smith had just concluded a season in which he went 11-4, helped the Chiefs claim the AFC West title and posted a 91.2 quarterback rating.
But in Mahomes, they saw their future.

Sure seems like a lot of Veach to me.
