Judging by the comments from one NFL general manager, we may be in for some surprises Thursday during the first round of the NFL Draft.
Chiefs GM Brett Veach said he was expecting “a lot of curveballs” in the first round of the draft, including a lot of players who may be surprisingly available toward the end of the round.
“Any time you have a draft with four quarterbacks and four premium tackles, expect a lot of curveballs. I think there are going to be a lot of players that maybe the public didn’t think would be there late first round.” – Chiefs GM Brett Veach.

This is obviously a very different draft. Teams didn’t get much hands-on time with prospects after the NFL Combine, and there’s much more uncertainty than usual. That uncertainty could lead to some surprising outcomes.
One possibility? One of the leading quarterback prospects in the draft falls far more than most experts anticipate he will.
