I really like Speaks, so don't get me wrong when I say this...
I think Veach was full of shit when he talked about the reason for moving up to get him.
There were several highly touted edge rushers on the board at the time that pick was made, including:
Sam Hubbard, Ohio State
Rasheem Green, USC
Tyquan Lewis, Ohio State
Lorenzo Carter, Georgia
Kemoko Turay, Rutgers
Josh Sweat, Florida State
Arden Key, LSU
So I think this move was a lot less about the "talent pocket," because he's a ****ing liar by saying it didn't exist after Speaks, and alot more about him preferring Speaks and being worried that the Chargers were going to take him. In the end, the Chargers took a much different type of edge player in Nwosu.
I'm fine with the pick. In fact, I really like the pick. I just don't like the excuses for the move up.
