If I were Veach, I would trot that piece of shit Alice Smith on the field next season and finish his contract. I would get as many "best position available" players on the offense/defense as I could through 2018 draft. Have a losing 2018 season and keep my draft picks through said season. Go into the 2019 draft and hit it hard with "best position available" and have a solid foundation around our young QB. Start him off with a solid Oline to protect him and hopefully some gem WR's to throw to as well as a revamped defense. Then watch our future unfold. This is not going to end pretty at all this year as well as next but the future seems bright
