I am not saying Seattle fleeced us but surely Veach had more leverage than he realized at the time. You can draft your own DE with that compensation by moving up in the first.

He was traded for a 2019 first and a 2020 second. That's basically equivalent to a first and a third in the upcoming draft.
Who were they supposed to go up and get in that draft with that trade compensation?
(PS - I know for a fact that Montez Sweat was not on their draft board for injury reasons.)
The Clark trade didn't end up being great. The Ford trade ended up being perfectly fine. Hill was traded for market value.
Ridiculous to say he doesn't know how to handle high end trades as a result of that small sample size.
