There might have been teams looking at snagging Rice, but with him off the board they went in a different direction. To me what isn’t smart is sitting back and hoping the guys you want fall to you and when they don’t you settle for a consolation prize.

This has been my thinking also. Why is anybody mad we moved up a few spots to get the man we wanted? Last year we waited and ended up with the leftovers (Moore). This year Veach knew who he wanted and went up and got him (both 2nd and 3rd) without really giving up much. It doesn't matter if there was a player I wanted more; It was who the Chiefs wanted and that is what matters in the end.
