Chiefs general manager Brett Veach held the first pre-draft news conference of his career Friday and made at least one thing perfectly clear.
When the NFL Draft starts Thursday, the Chiefs won't be shy about improving their defense.
“I don’t think as an evaluator, as a personnel member, you’re ever happy with your team unless you win a Super Bowl.," Veach said, "so we’re going to look to improve the defense. We’re going to look to make changes."
And after an offseason in which the Chiefs traded their best cornerback, Marcus Peters, from what was already one of the league’s worst defenses, the notion should certainly act as a salve for fans worried about stress on their new starting quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, if the injuries pile up on the defense's starting 11.
