The direction that Brett Veach and the Kansas City Chiefs go in the 2021 NFL draft will be dependent on a few factors. We still need to see what will happen for the Chiefs in free agency. But we also don’t yet know what players will be available to them once they’re on the clock. Will there be a linebacker or defensive end that the team likes enough to take in the first round?
