The 4th best WR in this draft would have been the TOP WR in the past 2-3 drafts and a top 10 pick.
The #4 LB is definitely a second round talent. Maybe a 3rd.
If you take a WR at 32, you can draft a real star who also helps your offense maintain dominance in 2021. If you draft the best IOL available, you may be reaching for a guy who wouldn’t crack the top 40 picks in most other drafts.
Same holds true with RBs who fit this offense - primarily Swift and Dobbins, who are badass receiving threats.
Locking in on positions is dangerous. Veach is aggressive enough to move around - up and down - to ensure he gets guys in the range they’re supposed to go without reaching and sacrificing draft capital.
