Brett Veach breeds competition by loading up the cornerback room

There’s an old NFL cliché: “You can never have enough cornerbacks.”

That’s true for any team out there, but this offseason, it appears the Kansas City Chiefs are testing that theory out to its fullest extent.

After selecting a cornerback and safety in the first two rounds, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach continued adding to the position — selecting three other defensive backs on Day 3 of the draft. On top of that, the Chiefs acquired Houston Texans’ defensive back Lonnie Johnson Jr. via trade on Monday.

Johnson has been on the Chiefs’ radar for longer than this last weekend.
