Chiefs GM Brett Veach expecting a lot of trades in first round
""I think that the fans will be in for a treat next Thursday because I think the grades [on prospects] are going to be so close from some of these [offensive] tackles and D-ends and receivers.""
""There's not this huge gap and huge fall off. That's what a draft like this -- when you don't have two or three [high-graded] quarterbacks and a Will Anderson [Jr.] or a Myles Garrett -- does: It lends itself to open up to a lot of fun and a lot of excitement.""
""The Chiefs are one of few teams... who have two first-round selections in this year's draft. The Chiefs are scheduled to pick ninth and 29th.""
Brett Veach anticipates an exciting NFL draft, predicting numerous trades. He notes that this year's draft class differs from previous years, with only one quarterback likely to be picked early. Top prospects may not play premier positions, leading to close grades among players. Veach believes this will result in unexpected draft outcomes. The Chiefs, holding two first-round picks, are positioned to trade, continuing Veach's history of making deals around the draft. The Chiefs' picks are ninth and 29th, following a recent trade of cornerback Trent McDuffie.
