That’s one way to go about building a team and is very analytics-driven.

Yup. He advocates to trade down almost every year.

Which is fine, when you trade down and still take Chris Jones. But it also makes you miss out on Trent McDuffie.

Veach seems to have found a nice balance between acquiring picks and retaining talent. Also, seems like Veach acknowledges that he’s much more likely to replace Sneed than Jones. We know his record with DBs.
