I think we as Chiefs fans are a little spoiled too when it comes to how Veach has hit on so many players in the secondary without spending premium assets lately (Sneed, Ward, Fenton etc). In reality that just isn’t viable season after season, cornerback was a weakness and Veach addressed it with a guy they think highly of.
Also we don’t really know how the Chiefs front office views this draft in regards to talent in the 2nd-4th rounds when comparing DB to WR for example. Could potentially have a few guys left on their board at the WR position that they feel like are going to be available and still be huge contributors. Don’t have to go very far in history to see some big name WR’s taken in the 2nd round or later (Metcalfe, Kupp, Mclaren, AJ Brown).
Don’t really have a reason to distrust Veach, evaluate the draft with a bit more critical eye after rounds 2-4.
