You have to include Frank Clark. He makes it an A-

Thornhill
Darwin
Saunders
Hardman

That's an A+ from me man. Wow. Offense got arguably better while losing Hill, and defense got A LOT better. Veach put in work.

I'm going to give it a B+ right now. None of these guys have even put on NFL pads, let alone played a snap. If it turns out like Veach and Andy thinks it will, groovy, an easy A.

Yup

Of course, we won't really know for two years, but based on what I see on film, I'll give it a B+.

The only disappointment is not having another pick or two, but you have to remind yourself that we added Honey Badger and Clark.

The board fell our way and made the Frank Clark deal look like a good one.

I think we did a good job accounting for the potential loss of Hill

I believe Thornhill will be a good compliment to Mathieu in the secondary and I like the flexibility we are building back there

I was so so on the DB

However, I think Darwin Thompson is a great fit for the offense and am intrigued by Allegretti.

I think we're in OK shape.

A+!! Every single one of these guys will contribute this year. Trade for Kyle Rudolph and PP and game over!

If Veach somehow pulls off a PP and Kyle Rudolph pick up I am not sure if I can wait till August/September

Gave it a B since it's way to early to predict anything. Did do a good job of getting what appeared to value at the picks and got players where there was a need most of the time. Really don't remember any wtf? picks the draft. They usually have at least 1 or 2.

A-

The only reason it’s not an A+ is because we didn’t come away with a corner on day 2, but I understand that the guys they liked went early in the 2nd and after the Tyreek situation we really needed to keep all of our day 2 picks.

So with Veach ignoring the CB position for the most part... Should the assumption be he is satisfied with the position as it sits right now? or... He is aggressively trying to pursue trade options (PP, Rhodes, Waynes, etc) and is confident in the outcome?

This year I’m happy with it but Breeland is only here one year. Breeland and Ward are fine starting CBS with Fuller

A+. Clark was genius. Adjusted well on the fly to the Hill situation while being able to add some versatility in the secondary. Saunders looks really promising. Took a flyer on a speedy RB and added potential interior OL depth.

If we had just faced the Hill stuff and had the same flavor of draft as last year, I might’ve joined hands with Mahomo and jumped off a cliff. But there was a method and plan here well executed.
