I disagree that the Chiefs won’t ever have the picks to get an all-around receiver. DeAndre Hopkins was the #27 pick. Stafon Diggs was a Day 3 pick.

Amon-Ra St Brown was a 4th round pick. Juju was a late second round pick. Chris Godwin was a 3rd round pick.
Those guys are out there late in the draft. With Mahomes at QB and carrying 6 WRs, there’s a strong argument to draft a WR between the 2nd and 5th round almost every year.
Address it with volume, and eventually Veach will hit a few home runs.
