\u201cLike every year, whether it\u2019s free agency or the draft, if there\u2019s an opportunity to add a playmaker for Pat (Mahomes), we\u2019re always going to be looking for those options. (We) played it out so to speak at some other positions,\u201d Veach explained during his press conference. \u201cI think we were lucky that Hollywood\u2019s situation played out the way it did. I think he\u2019s going to be a great one-year addition for us and he\u2019s going to set himself up nicely moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veach also expressed optimism for how the first portion of the offseason played out for Kansas City.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re excited and like I said, every year is different and unique. I think with the resources we had available, we maximized what we can do this offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of his size (5-foot-9, 180 pounds) and speed (4.27 40-yard dash at 2019 Pro Day), oftentimes Brown is incorrectly labeled as just a deep-threat receiver. But he is much more than that, which Chiefs head coach Andy Reid explained on April 19.<\/p>\n

\u201cHollywood Brown is a good speed receiver, he can play inside or outside and I stay away from saying a deep threat although he can do that, he can play within the offense and do all of the different routes that we asked. He\u2019s a nice addition and he has some experience and production,\u201d Reid said during his press conference.<\/p>\n

According to Matt Harmon of Reception Perception, the routes Brown had the highest success rate with during the 2023 season among the ones he ran the most were out routes (88.9%), post routes (81.5%), dig routes (79.5%), and curl routes (78%).<\/p>\n

Kansas City\u2019s offense struggled to consistently make plays downfield during the 2023 season. That is in part because base defenses in the NFL have changed to try and eliminate deep plays. But the Chiefs also struggled to take advantage of the plays they had available to them downfield.<\/p>\n

Reid and Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy Brown should be able to scheme up ways to get Brown open regularly in the intermediate and deep portions of the field, which will help unlock another layer of Kansas City\u2019s offense. That will be a much-needed addition, especially now that Rashee Rice\u2018s NFL future is in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

Brett Veach Says 2024 WR Class is Deep<\/h2>\n

\"Chiefs<\/p>\n

When asked to give his evaluation of this year\u2019s WR draft class, Veach spoke highly of the prospects.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s one of the deeper [receiver] classes,\u201d Veach said. \u201cI think the good thing about the wide receiver position \u2013 this is typically every year \u2013 is they provide depth really one-five and there\u2019s always pockets of players \u2013 I think there is a large group of receivers in the first 50 picks that we have great grades on. Then I think there\u2019s another pocket right behind that, I think that is a positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2024 NFL Draft will take place from April 25 to April 27 in Detroit, Michigan, and will be available to watch on ESPN, ABC, and NFL Network.<\/p>\n
