With the moves in free agency so far and the re-signings leading up to free agency, Veach seems to be setting up to draft a DT in Round 1, but no later than Round 2.
Looking at all the draft gurus in here. Is there a DT worth drafting at 31? [Reply]
You're going to be disappointed if you think this way...the Chiefs since hiring Spags haven't valued DT at all.
Could this year be different? Yea but if it is it's because there's a DT that fits their mold, long, leanish, ability to lineup all over the place. [Reply]
WR and DT are my top 2. Would still like to double dip at OT but doubt that comes in rd 1 unless Simmons falls and/or they’re in love with Conerly. [Reply]

It just seems like the timing and situation is right. Chris Jones isn't getting any younger and with Wharton probably leaving there is nothing else at DT. Outside of Notre Dame games I didn't get to watch much college football this year. I have no idea how deep this draft is at DT, but I would be surprised if the Chiefs didn't draft a DT with either of their first 2 picks. [Reply]

This is the best DL draft since 2019. There’s gonna be extremely talented DT’s there.
Yea but the difference in that and this is Spags very obviously has a type when it comes to defensive linemen. I think he's a little more open about DB's not filling every box when DL he is not. He is very very in a very specific hole about what he wants in DL. [Reply]
