Look how busy Brett Veach was during the 2023 draft:

Here's what the Chiefs did in the draft:

1.31. DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Kansas State

2.55. [Chiefs trade 2.63, 4.122, and 7.249 to the Lions to move up for this pick, also acquiring 6.194.] WR Rashee Rice, SMU

2.63. Traded (with other picks) to the Lions to move up to 2.55.

3.92. OT Wanya Morris, Oklahoma

3.100. This selection was traded along with 6.209 to the Giants for WR Kadarious Toney.

4.119. [Chiefs trade 4.134 and 2024 5th round pick to the Vikings move up for this pick.] S Chamarri Conner, Virginia Tech

4.122. This selection (along with others) was acquired from the Dolphins for WR Tyreek Hill, and was traded with other picks to the Lions to move up from 2.63 to 2.55.

4.134. This selection was traded along with a 2024 5th round pick to the Vikings to move up to 4.119.

5.166. DE B.J. Thompson, Stephen F. Austin

6.178. This selection (along with others) was acquired from the Dolphins for WR Tyreek Hill, and was traded to the Cowboys in exchange for a 2024 5th round pick.

6.194. [This selection was acquired by the Chiefs in exchange for several picks that allowed them to move up from 2.64 to 2.55.] DT Keondre Coburn, Texas

6.209. This selection was traded along with 3.100 to the Giants for WR Kadarious Toney.

7.249. This selection was traded with other picks to the Lions to move up from 2.63 to 2.55.

2.250. CB Nic Jones, Ball State

I totally missed that the Chiefs actually acquired a 2024 5th round pick back after trading theirs to the Vikings so the Cowboys could move up.

That means the Chiefs currently stand at the following [projected] picks for 2024:

1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th (Cowboys selection)
5th (compensatory projection)
5th (compensatory projection)
6th
7th

Vratch grinds, plain and simple. Lucky to have him, really.

That may well be more work in one draft than all of Dammit Carl!'s entire tenure with the team.

We need to accumulate MOAR 1st round picks!
