Host-city Chiefs white-knuckle 2023’s first-round pick: ‘We got to have a one’

The Kansas City Chiefs continue their preparations for 2023’s NFL Draft Week.

Barely exhaling from a critical 2022 draft in Las Vegas, Chiefs brass spoke on turning the page to next season’s spring spectacle.

“We’re certainly extremely excited about the draft next year,” general manager Brett Veach told reporters via Zoom on Tuesday.

Veach said that Kansas City owner, chairman and CEO Clark Hunt is so excited about the “tremendous event,” that he proposed a makeshift war room in Union Station — which will be Ground Zero for the NFL’s Draft Experience.
