WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THIS ???? ; The 3 biggest questions ahead of Brett Veach’s pre-draft press conference……..

Kansas City’s general manager will answer questions on Friday morning.
Less than a week till the start of the NFL Draft.

With that in mind, the Kansas City Chiefs will hold their annual pre-draft press conference with General Manager Brett Veach later this morning. In the past, Veach has been refreshingly open about how the team is shaping up for the upcoming draft; we always leave the press conference with new knowledge.

Heading into his media conference, here are what I believe to be the three biggest questions about the club right now:

Is Rashee Rice’s status affecting the team’s need for a wide receiver?

Before Rice’s off-the-field situation (and what we can reasonably anticipate to be a suspension to start the NFL season), I thought Kansas City could select a receiver in the first round, anyway — especially if a player they loved made it to the “Trent McDuffie range” (21-31) and someone was willing to answer the phone.

Again, even before the Rice situation, I thought it was a good bet they would select two receivers before the end of Saturday. So, I’m not sure how much things have changed. But I have seen that it’s been a popular topic of interest in the city, and I could imagine Veach will weigh in.

How does Veach (and his team) feel about the receiver and offensive tackle classes?

As mentioned, the Chiefs need a wide receiver (or two), so I’m curious how Veach feels about the class, especially since many mocks see between seven and nine at the position going in the first round.

Head coach Andy Reid all but pledged Kansas City was not done loading up at the tackle position, so his thoughts there would also be useful.

Where does Veach see the best value in the draft?

This is a question that is a rinse-wash-repeat from previous years. Veach has always been forthcoming about where he sees the best value in the draft. At first look, you may say, “Well, wouldn’t that be at the top of the first round?”

It is, of course. Each year, however, there is a part of the draft where the players’ consensus skill level may not be all that different from, say, No. 20 overall (in the first round) to No. 50 overall (in the second round).

Thus, the real value picks would come somewhere in that pocket — especially toward the end of the spectrum.

We’ll see what Veach says about where he may want to work the most.
