April 27, 2019, will mark the two-year anniversary of the day the Chiefs boldly moved up to take a long-awaited swing at a homegrown quarterback when they traded to the 10th overall pick in the draft to select future MVP Patrick Mahomes in 2017.
Current Chiefs GM Brett Veach is considered to be a critical piece of the evaluation and clamoring for the Texas Tech product. This past offseason, stories came out all over the media about Veach’s early assessment and willingness to wear Andy Reid out about the raw but uber-talented signal-caller. Mahomes is often positioned as a feather in the cap of the young GM who took the job at the head of the personnel table a few months after the Chiefs made that move nearly two years ago.
