The issue though is that we need a couple of things - options and/or willing trade partners. This year the WR class was s*** for elite talent, so you might as well go R2, and we did. The OT class was decent enough but there was no way to get up without burning so many picks that filling in other roster spots becomes a nightmare. Would I have liked to have kept a pick and taken another flyer later on, probably, but it's splitting hairs because that second guy aint getting snaps.
If I'm bitching about Veach whiffing on offensive talent or just not trying it's MEH. With Higgins there it was a terrible, terrible pick. It happens.

No question Kelce is going to be tough to replace. Hopefully in the mean time we get lucky on a 2nd rounder hitting. But you also that there is a good chance when that happens hopefully it frees up some cap room. We are able to swing a trade for one of the yearly unhappy Wr who needs a fresh start or change of scenery.
Bottom line given the salary cap, teams that players on team that wins want more money... FA and Draft is going to be plugging holes to keep going.
