Like all NFL decision-makers, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach sometimes faces criticism of the team he and his staff have built. One of the most common shots taken at Veach is his seeming lack of urgency to acquire talented cornerbacks. Through four full offseasons at the helm, Veach’s most significant free-agent investments in the position were a pair of one-year deals to Bashaud Breeland — which had a combined total of less than $5 million.
Veach has shown a similar disregard for the position in his four drafts. He has used a total of four day-three draft picks at the position — never drafting a cornerback higher than L’Jarius Sneed in 2020 with the 138th overall pick.
