If Veach Veaches, He'll Veach a DL

It's an inexact science to expect anything from day 3. That's a nice spot to get a couple of developmental guys but you're probably not going to get an immediate starter.

If Veach is serious about the long-term of the defense and keeping it young, then maybe they just bring in a vet WR again on the cheap and re-sign Wylie and OBj. I dunno. I don't love the idea but it sure plays well with the talent in this draft.

Totally agree with this. My attitude is pretty much now that we're going to have to gamble a little later at RT and maybe WR to really nail this DL.

The gambling at RT thing is what scares me the most.

This team can totally get by with Niang at RT if they had to.

When is he healthy? Until he proves he can actually be and remain healthy, not having a plan B or preferably a plan A with him as plan B is about as stupid as relying on Toney to be your primary WR.

It's just not smart. And no, I'm not confident in any plan that would include rolling with Niang and a day 3 rookie. That's asking for catastrophe.

Yep, I get it. I just think this DL needs multiple picks and even with a million this year we may need more. If we partially upgraded DL and went something like DE, RT, WR, S then it'd be fine by me. But I know I'm going to hate burning that second on an RT given what I think we'll pass up.

If we sign OBJ long term, I don't think we go OT in the first two rounds and instead look to Freeland, Nelson, Morris, or maybe Haggard at RT in the 3rd or 4th. That would allow us to go Dl & DE in the first 2 rounds, then look for a WR, OT, and S with our x3 picks in the 3rd & 4th.
