What prior Brett Veach drafts tell us about the 2021 draft

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has headed three drafts since taking lead of the front office. He has made 18 draft selections in total —six in each of the three years. Only one first-round selection — running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire — and four second-round picks.

He’s had his hits — fourth-round selection L’Jarius Sneed played like a first-round pick in 2020 — and his misses: trading up in the second-round to select edge rusher Breeland Speaks, who was cut before his third NFL season.

The success of his selections has been talked about and analyzed, but I want to dive a little deeper into how he’s attacked these drafts.
