Jones was important to the success of the defense, but outside of him, every other starter on defense was either drafted by him or brought in as a FA by him. On offense we saw what happens when Mahomes, despite being the best QB in the league with elite talent at WR and TE does when he has no protection. Veach not only addressed it, but built one of the best lines in the NFL. He brought in critical yet underrated pieces like McKinnon who were also a boon to this offense. He stole one of the league’s best kickers from the Carolina PS and then drafted one of the top punters in the league before moving on from him and signing an elite punter coming out of college. He took $70 in cap space (or something close to that) and turned that into the largest QB contract ever at the time while extending two of the players you mentioned above (Kelce and Jones). He moved on from Hill and the team got better. Your assessment definitely shows that you are not a Chiefs fan and screams average NFL Network watcher with only talking point evaluations of Veach. He is absolutely one of the biggest reasons for KC’s unprecedented success. |

-Moving on from Hill wasn't a no brainer when you see how well he's done individually, as well as the entire league declaring we were cooked after the trade. There were actual NFL experts out there that believed Tyreek made Mahomes and he would struggle mightily without him. Veach made the shrewd decision of letting him go and believed that Mahomes would make up the difference, and was correct. -You're gonna have to give some credit to Veach for discovering Mahomes in the first place. Dorsey probably doesn't trade up if Veach wasn't so insistent that Mahomes was the best football player he'd ever seen. -The dude's draft classes the last 5 years just speak for themselves. You might think it's easy to maintain a dynasty when you have the 6 guys you mentioned, but with Mahomes taking up as much cap as he is, you BETTER draft well to keep this thing rolling. Thank god he has. |
