Speaks, DOD, and Saunders have not shown anything. He’s batting .500 now. About what you’d expect with day 2 picks. Mid/late round picks are not supposed to be starters, so I hardly see your point there. The numbers show you’re more likely to hit on an UDFA, which we’ve done a decent job with (Williams and Pringle for example). I’m not saying Veach has been great, but you guys are ignoring anything good that he’s done and it’s an unfair judgement. |

But LDT, Hill, Kelce, Hunt etc all were mid to late round picks and were starters. I'll give credit on the 3 you mentioned as good picks but none are really impact players. Hardman could be if he developes his route running, Thornhill is seemingly improving each week but I dont see the impact player type from him.

Yea he hasn’t found any mid to late round starters through the draft, but he’s found guys like Reiter, Wylie, and Ward who are starters. You’re too fixated on how these starters were acquired in the past. Veach has found cheap solid starters in other ways. What difference does it make whether they were drafted or not? Not to mention there’s still plenty of time for a guy like Darwin to become a starter. We’re 5 games into this year class’s careers. Those guys you mentioned that Dorsey acquired weren’t starters this early. That’s what I mean by “unfair”. By the way, Kelce and Hunt were 100% Reid picks anyways. They would’ve been made regardless of who is the GM. You know that, right? Last edited by staylor26; 10-08-2019 at 01:24 PM.. |

How they were acquired aside he really hasnt added any impact players aside from Watkins who's made of glass and Mathieu. We are 5 games in so I'll be willing to admit that I was wrong if different guys step up but the way Clark is playing could be a huge face plant and that Hitchens deal was atrocious. You cant keep whiffing like that man. |

What about Okafor? Ogbah? Breeland? Wilson? Again, you are ignoring any of his good moves. |

Look up our record when LDT plays. He is our best guard and was selected in the 6th round. Wasnt Wylie part of the the old Colts line that got Luck injured? That dude sucks and always has. Reiter got cut by like the Bills and Browns. Definite down grade from Morse. It's a shame we didnt keep Devey he was decent at center and just as bad at guard as Wylie. |

This is what happens when you don’t have draft picks or you just simply blow them. Trading for Alex=no 2nd for 2 years Maclin penalty=no 3rd Mahomes trade=loss of a 1st Clark=loss of 1st and 2nd rd pick Both of those QB trades were great for us IMO but the point is we didn’t have picks. That is hard when you can’t use that resource to surround your QB with talent. Need to hit on the draft. That’s the best way to win in this league

I guarantee you Dorsey had way more say than Reid when it comes to any of the draft picks that were made when he was here. You are talking out of your ass right now. |

Reid said it himself that he fell in love with Hunt watching MAC games on Thursday nights in the background while doing game prep. If you had a clue, you’d already know this. He obviously knew Kelce very well after coaching his brother. You think that’s a coincidence? Reid plays a huge role in drafting offensive guys. He’s one of the greatest offensive minds ever, and you don’t think they lean on him when drafting offensive players to play in his ****ing scheme? Some are 100% his picks. Hunt and Kelce clearly were. Last edited by staylor26; 10-08-2019 at 02:19 PM.. |
