Wide receiver was the strength of the draft and a big need, yet we passed on wide receivers the entire draft. Seems like we took one late. I just don't see why a teams draft strategy would do that. But I guess that's why Veach and Dorsey are GM's and I'm just complaining on an internet message board.

So that tells you that he wanted beef up front that can push people around. He clearly wanted to change the mentality and the emphasis of our D. This is clearly what he wants so we might as well roll with giving the GM a chance over fighting him.
I was a big Dorsey fan and after two drafts I wasn't.
I wasn't a big Veach fan but after the moves he's made so far he's growing on me. He's clearly not a "yes man" and he clearly has a vision much different than Dorsey.
I don't know if he'll be good or not but at least give him two off-seasons before deciding...
