Loved hearing Sirius XM radio’s draft review. Veach took advantage of talented players with preconceived notions.
-Josh Simmons knee
-ONM low snap count
-Gillotte’s shorter arms/smaller hands and “down year” (only 1 less pressure than his big 2023 season)
-Williams lack of elite deep speed (that fits our system)
-Royals foot injury missing time and apparently physical limitations
-Bassa being undersized at weight (but not looking that way on tape)
-Smith only playing RB 1 year
All these guys showed on tape what we want them to be. This isn’t a Kingsley or Felix “developmental” potential thing. They all have decent ceilings at worst.
Doesn’t always work out that way (hello Skyy Moore) but overall it has worked out. Jaden Hicks is the prime example of it to me.
