Hell, I thought moving up to 10 was too high last year for Mahomes. Nobody knew the Saints were going to pick him at 11 until Payton came out and said it a few weeks ago. I thought the Eagles took Fletcher Cox too high as well but they nailed that pick when Veach was there. Veach is smart, lets see what happens. His track record speaks for itself

Maybe Veach sees a guy who was able to produce and make some plays even despite using limited technique and feels like they can coach him into a great pass rusher. I’d hope that’s the case anyways because more often than not it looks like Speaks was just trying to overpower linemen, and he didn’t flash too many moves either.

Exactly. This is why I think they moved up. I don't think it was because Speaks was the last of a pocket of players that Veach described.
