But taking the philosphy of draft and develop is not a blank check. I don't have to celebrate every pick, I can reasonably disagree. And I know for a virtual fact, as much of a fact as a fan on a couch can, that Rashee Rice is a good player who is simply not going to get a lot of snaps this year. And I know for an actual fact that Morris is a "let's hope the coaches can make a workable tackle out of him" guy because he sure wasn't very good at OU.
I think the Chiefs will have to live and die by the draft, and Veach's talents have ensured they'll live by it. I will say that he sure felt hamstrung in the first round this year. Just saying.
The bigger problem is Veach's relative struggles in free agency this year ands the refusal of the team to either trade or extend Chris Jones.

They've got a couple recently drafted WR's that we're already seemingly ready to throw away, plus the one they took this year.
Then at LT, they got a guy comparable to the one they just let walk for 1/8th the price and signed what they signed in FA.
Some people need to listen more to Chris Meck and DJ I think in terms of what and where the Chiefs are in terms of money with Mahomes contract being on the books.
