The Kansas City Chiefs have a lot riding on this year’s draft class. Head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach need to hit on not just their early-round picks, but also their late-round selections as they strive to keep Patrick Mahomes surrounded by a talented roster. As we have seen in the past, once a team ponies up big money to a quarterback it becomes increasingly difficult to pay other good players on the team and will lead to a lot of attrition with solid veteran players. This just puts more pressure on the Chiefs brass to continue to draft well and add young and inexpensive talent to this roster.
