"Hi, I'm Brett Veach, GM of the Kansas City Chiefs, and I really liked your style in there."
"Uhm, I know who you are."
We then spent a good 20 minutes on the side talking about the Chiefs. I asked him about the Tyreek situation. He gave me some details which I can't repeat but said, "Max 2 game suspension. Probably not even that." I asked him about the trade for Frank Clark and whether he felt he could get that production from a certain prospect who tested well in the combine. "Well, that guy wasn't even on our draft board for health reasons. But man, no one in OTAs can block Frank Clark." He then took his iPhone out and he was showing me video of Clark dominating in practices. We talked the draft class. We talked Mahomes. I only regret not asking him about Dorsey.
I think he was buzzed. I was hammered and it shows in the pictures. Veach is like if any of us ever became GM and we're just really fucking good at what we do and excited to be doing it.
Veach, unlike several of our previous GMs, seems like a good dude. [Reply]
Veach was on the MMQB pod. Very interesting that he thinks he’s a hybrid of John Dorsey and Chris Ballard. I never thought of that, but I can actually see that in Brett.

On Dorsey: “John is old school. I mean, he is tape, tape, tape, tape, tape. Watching all the tape. Just close the door in the draft room. Prior to coming to Kansas City, working with the Eagles... spring meetings were more of overview and intellectual debate over guys. When I got to Kansas City, it was my introduction to the 17 days with your scouts prior to the combine...every single scout, college and pro, is locked in a room, and you start watching tape at 5 a.m. and you’re watching the tape until 6, 7 o’clock at night for 17 straight days — like training camp for scouts. But John was wired in the old school — we’re just going to exhaust the tape... we’re going to exhaust the tape on every level, and we’re going to stick to certain principles in regard to — we’re not watching 5-9 corners or 5-8 corners. No. This is a big man’s game. Size wins, size matters. Tape... and we’re going to make our decisions primarily on tape.”
On Ballard: “Chris was wired the same way in regards to tape — Chris had little bit of more of an analytics mind to him...[Chris] wanted to talk about how analytics could play a role in this and discuss athletic scores. Chris was involved in a little bit more of a new age of football where we’re going to watch tape, but let’s go back and let’s review some of these guys. Maybe their tape wasn’t great, but these scores suggest they’re going to be really good.”
“Both guys were extremely hard workers and both guys I learned a ton from. John was a firm believer in, ‘If I don’t see it on tape, I’m really not going to be there.’ Chris was a little bit open-minded to bringing in guys from an analytics standpoint. But it was cool because both guys had a love and passion for the game that I certainly had and I got to see how they worked. Again, John — the amount of meeting time and the amount of time spent in the room watching tape was something that I was just a natural connection with, because that’s what I love to do and being in this environment where I got to — I loved those 16-day meetings.”

I think Clark wants to further cement his families legacy on the league. Lamar played a big part in innovation and now Clark has a chance to make the Chiefs one of the storied winning franchises.
Dude called the SB win on opening day of camp. [Reply]

I know you said you can't repeat the stuff related to Tyreek, but can you at least tell us, "HE GOOD" [Reply]
For every #NFL organization that wants to chase/try to find the next @PatrickMahomes they should also be chasing/trying to find the next combo that works like Hunt/Veach/Reid...greatness is a group effort in the NFL

As I recall he used that very term, and as he grinned, I noticed he had borrowed one of Tyreek's gold teeth. I knew everything was gonna be okay after that. [Reply]

Can we draft Mahomes unborn son yet? I mean, with two parents who were paid money to play sports, with one of them being the greatest to ever do it, the kid has to be genetically gifted. And I think we already know that Mahomes will be a great father, mentor, and coach to this not-yet-conceived phenom.

I never wanted to breed with anyone more than I want to with Patrick Mahomes. That perfect, curvy body. Those bountiful breasts. The immaculate thighs of a literal god. It honestly fucking hurts knowing that I'll never mate with him, pass my genes through him, and have him birth a set of perfect offspring. I'd do fucking ANYTHING for the chance to get Mahomes pregante. A N Y T H I N G. And the fact that I can't is quite honestly too much to fucking bear. Why would God create something so perfect? To fucking tantalize us? Fucking laugh in our faces?! Honestly guys, I just fucking can't anymore. Fuck./MAHOMO 4 LIFE [Reply]
