Best angle vs best rate

Can someone clarify where best angle and best rate appear as it relates to the drag curve? I have read a few things which seem to contradict one another. I understand Vy occurs at maximum excess thrust, however does this speed reside around best L/D? Any thoughts??
Thanks for the help
