Since the Kansas City Chiefs hired Brett Veach as their new general manager two years ago this July, we have had reason to expect he would be a strong talent evaluator; Veach had been a subordinate of previous GM John Dorsey since Dorsey joined the Chiefs in 2013.
Just after Veach got the job, friend-of-the-site Terez Paylor put it this way:
“The first thing I hear about when I ask people around the league about Brett Veach is he’s a strong evaluator of talent. He’s well-informed. If you enjoyed the way the Chiefs have drafted under John Dorsey, good news: I believe Brett is going to continue a lot of those methodologies and a lot of those ways of drafting players.
