But I’ll take his approach over what Ballard is doing every day of the week. ‘Scared money don’t make money’.... Ballard seems scared to miss, scared to get burned.
Yet he’s actually burning himself with a lack of talent all over the roster, QB and OL withstanding.

Veach's first season as a rookie GM looks like a former scout finally getting his crack at running an offseason....
He obviously wanted Mahomes to succeed in his first year...so he went out and got a luxury $16 million FA in Watkins. It worked to a degree...PM was MVP with 50 TDs.
Where he completely failed..and in pretty epic fashion was losing Peters and Berry coming off an Achilles. His whole strategy was hoping Amerson panned out., EB was fine and drafting Watts in the 4th. There really wasn't a back-up plan...
There is part of me that wonders if they had allocated the financial resources from Watkins to fortifying the back 7...if they would have been SB champs.
I think Dorsey would have passed on Watkins...and definitely wouldnt have moved up for Speaks. He traded down and still landed C. Jones.
