Breaking Down Process That Led to Brett Veach Being Hired as GM | Chiefs.com
“It was about a four-hour interview,” Veach explained. “It was long and there was only one break, but when I got back to Kansas City, I didn’t hear anything for like six days, so I was like, ‘Man, I probably screwed that up.’
“A week later, [Hunt] called me and had some follow up questions.”
Following that call, which lasted about an hour, Veach said he and his wife, Allison, perked up every time the phone rang.
“It was funny because [Hunt] called a couple of other times before the actual call in which he offered the job,” Veach explained. “When she knew he was calling, she was like, ‘Is that the one?’
“I was like, ‘No, not yet. Not yet.”

Clark Hunt says much while saying little about John Dorsey departure | Chiefs Digest
“Over the course of the spring, there were enough issues that popped up that caused me to want to do a full evaluation of the football department before I extended either (head coach) Andy (Reid) or John,” Hunt said. “And in the course of that evaluation I just became concerned about our ability to continue the success we have had the last four years, or better yet to build on that success and have a championship team.”

"I don't know that we had a mess on our hands. We just had a situation where I felt we had to get better,'' Hunt said, citing "issues" within the football operation that caused him some alarm. He would not specify those issues.

“I know relative value, I know what the pieces are worth,” he said. “My job is to articulate the vision for next year, two years, three years. ... But I do understand the cap, and I do understand player value, and I do have a plan.”
Basically, what I did was go through every player drafted (since 2012) at the positions that the Chiefs took players at and found the players that are most similar to our 2017 picks. Then, I looked at how those players have been doing in the NFL and see if it can tell us anything about the future of our 2017 draftees.
Instead of drafting Mahomes, should the Chiefs have traded for Drew Brees? | From our FanPosts
The first question, of course, is would the Saints do it. If they were willing to rebuild, I'd say yes. Even with Brees they don't seem particularly close to competing for Super Bowls, and he only has a couple quality years left. Those picks could help minimize the amount of time they spend rebuilding for the post-Brees era. For comparison, the Chiefs gave up less than a 1st round pick when we traded for Montana. The biggest issue is the cap numbers. Trading Brees would actually increase his cap hit for the Saints this year. But if they wanted to commit to a rebuild, not having cap this year wouldn't have been an issue.

TIGHT END (4): Travis Kelce, Demetrius Harris, Gavin Escobar, Ross Travis
The Chiefs may well keep four at this position given their affinity for extra-tight end personnel groupings.
