Tried to tell you at the time that this was the right move to make...

And a starting, highly-rated Guard in the 6th?

It's not inconceivable at all that if we keep all these picks, around half of them might step right in and produce at a high level this upcoming season. You HAD to make this move if you were Veach, especially when you're paying a franchise QB.

I went from the uneasy feeling that we were on the downward curve side of our run to being totally stoked about the next 5 year window. And I'm as big of a Tyreek fan as anyone. This is a great move, not only for the future, but for this season as well.

Great move Veach!

Congrats on getting paid Tyreek, and thanks for your contributions!

Fantasizing about what a GM like Veach is going to do with all these picks and a lot more cap flexibility is giving me a boner. How much of our roster will be on rookie deals or very team-friendly contracts - over a third of the team? Sign me up.

Before this morning if you'd have asked me honestly, I'd have said that - while we'll still be more than competitive and getting to the Super Bowl was definitely within reason - we were beginning the back side of our current run. I feel the exact opposite right now.

Congrats to Cheetah on getting paid, thanks for being a major cog in our championship run, and I hope he never has to buy a drink again within 100 miles of Kansas City. I'll never forget what he did, and he'll always be a Chief to me.

Going on record saying this was a great move for the Kansas City Chiefs franchise, and that people doubting this move are going to look foolish in a couple years. Veach is going to nail this.
