Brett Veech has got to handle the number nine pick perfectly.

It's the most important pick he's made since Patrick Mahomes.

From the land of the free and the home of the Chiefs, this is the Locked On Chiefs podcast.

Welcome back, Chiefs Kingdom.

Thanks for joining me.

I'm Ryan Tracy, founder of Rogue Analytics and Performance Consulting home of the

Athletic Matrix.

Check that out.

We are getting right to it today because we are breaking down.

All the day three guys that can come in and help this roster maybe get it back to the championship.

That's coming up later in the show.

And before we get there, we got to see what we can do with day two picks that really should fill out this roster and make some impact on the players.

But we start today exactly where the chiefs have to start.

And that is making the absolute most

of the number nine pick and that is a tall order for bret beach we're going to go through because

Chris is out this week but he did get the mock draft done before he left so I wasn't able to be

there so I'm going to do my own this week and we're going to have some fun it, but it comes back to the common thing that no matter what, this pick has to be handled with kid gloves.

It has to be done correctly with the most foresight, not just for this immediate season, but for the whole length of what will be a rookie contract, depending on who that player is.

And this is a difficult one.

Now, I know, Brett Veach did not make the selection of Patrick Mahomes, but he was highly

influential in it.
