They said ‘no thanks...’ and put him on the IR a day sooner and took the possibility of a return off the table. They very clearly had no use for him and it was obvious by that decision last season.

If they thought he had any value at all to this club they’d have left him a window to return in 2019. They didn’t.

Speaks sucks. Speaks has always sucked. Any assertions to the contrary have always been blind homerism.
And, yet, Veach saw the need to actually trade up for him. Was he really that worried that some other team was targeting him?

By his words, he thought there was a sharp drop off in pass rush talent, and if the Chiefs wanted to acquire somebody in the draft to help them in that department, it was now or never.

It's clear that he's learned his lesson from the past two drafts he's put together. Not every player will work out, and some of them may fizzle out just as quickly as Speaks did, but I think Veach is confident enough in himself now that if he perceives a particular "need" to fill a hole through the draft, he goes the other way and just trusts his own process in finding solutions elsewhere.

Agreed. It just never made sense. To anyone.

It should be mentioned that Veach said he wasn't a big " metric fan" and relied more on game film after he drafted Speaks.

Then every draft after that one were full of SPARQ heroes on the defensive side of the ball .



Due to Speaks inability to produce has amended Brett's draft philosophy considering accomplishments and athletic potential.

I thought he would be an ok player. I thought the pick signaled that a 4-3 was coming the next season.

I was half right.

It's his own fault.
