With the KC Chiefs finding good TE value on Day 3 of the draft with Jared Wiley, general manager Brett Veach is a big fan of how the room has rounded out.
Even before the 2024 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs had a formidable trio of tight ends on the roster. Leading the way was future Hall of Fame man Travis Kelce, with 2021 fifth-round pick Noah Gray and offseason free agent signing Irv Smith Jr. serving as complementary pieces.TCU product Jared Wiley , Kansas City's first fourth-round selection of the year, came off the board at 131st overall.
“Every now and then, especially with where we pick in the draft, the tight ends, it just seems to me the last few years it’s harder to find tight ends in the draft than it had been in the past," Veach said."I think you do get a chance — depending on where you pick — to select a receiving tight end or a blocking tight end, but these combo tight ends are hard to find.
