Brett Veach wants to surround Patrick Mahomes with playmakers

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for another crucial draft cycle, general manager Brett Veach made it clear that offensive skill positions — especially running back and wide receiver — remain top priorities. But beyond simply adding depth, the team is eyeing versatility, explosiveness and special teams impact.

“The running back class is probably the deepest class in the draft,” said Veach. “I think you can get a really good player from around 1, 3, or 5.”

Veach emphasized how quickly depth can erode over the course of a season. Injuries and attrition are constants in the NFL, and the Chiefs know firsthand how thin key positions can get.
