For this year though, the payoff is pretty big. Again, assuming we get the 2021 version, we may have the best line in the NFL.

Veach explicitly said, more than once, that they're looking for a LONG-term answer at LT. That's not Donovan Smith.
He's going to come in here, compete, and provide insurance. If he actually wins a starting job, it's gravy. But that's not their "plan" at all.
