KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Brett Veach said having a strong offensive line is one of the pillars of his philosophy for building a football team, behind only quarterback in terms of importance.
"Just the general Football 101 is, get a quarterback and build through the offensive and defensive lines," the Kansas City Chiefs general manager said. "You don't ever go into an offseason or a draft and not at least have in your mind one of your priorities is to continually invest in the offensive line."
The Chiefs, between recent financial investments in Chris Jones and Frank Clark and the drafting of Derrick Nnadi and Khalen Saunders, have made a significant effort at stocking their defensive line since Veach became GM in 2017.
