According to an\u00a0ESPN article\u00a0that was released after the draft, Veach texted Mahomes shortly before the draft started and asked him who he wanted. Mahomes responded with a single word, &#8220;Clyde&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Although Edwards-Helaire had a decent rookie season with the Chiefs, he fell out of favor quickly and became an afterthought in the offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Due to this, it seems like Mahomes has learned to let Veach and head coach Andy Reid make the decisions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">According to Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports, Mahomes said, &#8220;They&#8217;re [Veach and Reid] going to go out and pick the guys that keep us Super Bowl contenders.&#8221; Mahomes not having direct input over who the Chiefs select this year is likely best for the team.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004 ot-vscat-C0004 \" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1915087294937059562&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fkckingdom.com%2Fpatrick-mahomes-clearly-learned-first-chiefs-draft-mistake-01jshyx9q1dx&amp;sessionId=995e6b861289c52b418ed76ae16102bae5fe2a8a&amp;siteScreenName=KCKingdomFS&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1915087294937059562\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Patrick Mahomes Admits He Has Little Input About Who the Chiefs Select in NFL Draft<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Leaving the draft selections to the GM and head coach is a good idea for Mahomes, especially this year. This year&#8217;s class is loaded at running back, which the former Texas Tech quarterback has already failed to evaluate once.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Although it&#8217;s hard to miss such a talented class, it is possible, and even though Mahomes has a short track record, it&#8217;s clearly not a good one.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">That said, there is still a good chance that Kansas City drafts a running back at some point between Thursday and Saturday. On Tuesday, the Chiefs met with Ohio State running back\u00a0TreVeyon Henderson\u00a0virtually.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Be that as it may, if Kansas City does end up drafting a running back, fans can be safely assured that Mahomes didn&#8217;t have the final input on who was selected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past six seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs have appeared in five Super Bowls, thanks in large part to an explosive offense led by Patrick Mahomes&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
