But you've got some recency bias happening here. That first draft continues to count, does it not? It seems folly to write it off, especially for the "Veach is why we have Mahomes" crowd.
But would I trade our '19 and '20 drafts for the Colts '19 and '20 drafts? Yeah, I would.

The first draft he had a top 10 pick to work with. That’s a huge difference compared to the draft capital that Veach has had in any of his drafts. Sure, it counts, but it’s also an apples to orange comparison.
And I love how even with a huge hit like Creed, it gets knocked down a notch for positional value, but nothing gets mentioned about Ballard having to spend a top 10 pick to get an All-Pro G, which was easily his best picked player.
