Jones to de should replace him. Then two fatties actually stopping the run in the middle and collapsing pocket. Then draft other de is available.
This is my hope at least. |

Look at our strategy this year. Spags loves DB's and he asks am awful lot from them. We are emphasizing those. And veach is following his plan. We'll see if it works out. But you can only hold your GM accountable for so much if your coaches don't know what they're doing. |

In hindsight, it was a gamble they lost but it makes sense to me. Why replace Sutton with somebody that wouldn't be an improvement? |

5 years he used 2 4ths and 2 5ths on ILBs. Nico Johnson, Ramik Wilson, DJ Alexander and Ukeme Eligwe. Shit fellas, Wilson played 16 games and started 4 last season. Eligwe and Alexander were ST flyer candidates and DJ hit in a big way. Nico Johnson was a bust at the top of the 4th; a top 100 pick you'd like to have seen more out of for sure. Gerald Hodges was available and would've obviously been a better pick. But again - 5 years and 1 real swing and miss at the position? That's not bad. Especially when said swing was a 3rd day pick. What y'all are calling an aptitude issue is more of a priority matter. He just didn't prioritize some of this stuff as much as you'd like. And I can't say that I blame him - he was trying to rebuild an offense that Pioli had let fall to complete shit and I'd say he did a pretty damn nice job in that regard. But there are only so many fingers to plug the damn here and there were a LOT of holes on that roster. With the complete lack of roster depth and advancing age of some of they key pieces he inherited, he did a pretty damn stellar job.

I am truly and sincerely amazed at the love Dee Ford is getting in this thread-thing.
Breaking up is hard to do, I guess. I'm having difficulty remembering all this admiration and respect when he was a Chief. FAX |

The jury is still out on this Veach. Hopefully all the moves he is making work out and our D improcves this year but I'm not going to sit here and be like 'well he was the scout who got us Mahomes so he is going to be the best GM ever!' |

Ramik Wilson hasn't been terrible in stl. Eligwe is still usable. Id bet terrance Smith and odaniel would do much better in a scheme that uses their speed. Hell, Hitchens was a serial underperformer last year. Is a bad scheme misusing decent enough players? And was it forcing the GM to seek out the wrong kinds of LB's? |

How could Veach be the best GM ever when everybody knows that was John Dorsey.

This, right here, is a little over the top. Not the Pioli part, that part's spot on. FAX |

CHunt has said repeatedly, over and over and over again, that it was a full team decision. Everyone was on board. Veach identified the talent. (well duh, he was director of player personnel) Andy put him through the ringer and gave him the stamp of approval. Dorsey executed a masterful trade to get it done.
