Veach clearly felt like they'd run out of guys they really wanted to get their hands on.
Karl Brooks, Kei'Trel Clark, JL Skinner, Kayshon Boutte, Trey Palmer, AT Perry, Zack Kuntz - a lot of guys were still on the board at that point and at that moment in time Veach decided that none of them were worth using a 6th round pick on.
And you're getting wound up about moving pick 217? We traded the first pick of the 6th round for a pick that's probably gonna be maybe 10 picks ahead of that next season. And you 'hate' that we gave up the last pick of said round?
Who ****ing cares? You walk about the quality players we could've drafted at 95 but that's immaterial as we could've taken any of them at 92. The only relevant consideration is the pick they gave up to get it done and Veach demonstrated, loud and clear, that the pick was simply irrelevant to him.

I'm not fussed about losing 217, but you're telling me you wouldn't have liked Brooks or Kuntz there? Veach wouldn't have known who he was giving up when he made that deal, he was betting that noone he liked was there, maybe they were, maybe they weren't.
