I’m mostly good with the pick. But it feels like we could’ve done that and landed the same pick.

Veach was asked about trading down before the draft and said something along the lines of "Hey, we pick at/near the bottom of the round every year and you'd be surprised how few times we've really had teams come looking for that pick..."
I don't think his phone is ringing off the hook there. And if he's to be believed, Uzi was their top guy on the board and they didn't anticipate him still being available at the spots they were getting offers from so they pulled the trigger.
You really don't need to get any cuter than that here.
