Hunt was all Dorsey...KC ****ed up....been saying that since he was fired.
C. Jones, Hill and Hunt...off the charts stellar. He's had two consecutive rookies break or match all-time records...and did it from the 3rd and 5th rounds. |

Yes but people also say that Veach and Ballard were the ones who found these players. Whether we know that for a fact or not? We will find out soon wnough

it seems some fans still think that GM's have 'Carl Peterson' pull.
Get real kids. A lot of cooks are in that kitchen. |

What's his background? Scouting, scouting, and more scouting. Just like Dorsey. We still have zero evidence that he'll be any better at the cap than Dorsey. |

And while everybody was super impressed with his opening press conference, I honestly didn't get anything out of it. I wasn't expecting to, necessarily. It's not like Veach can reveal all his master plans and secrets or anything, but I was kind of hoping for a real answer to the question asked, "How are you different from Dorsey?"
He gave a vague, rambley answer that didn't answer the question nor make me feel confident he WILL be any different. It was the ultimate politician answer. I assume he'll be better at massaging Clark's ego, I guess. That's different. And I think he'll be decent at drafts. But managing the cap? Why do we have reason to think he knows what the **** he's doing? |

Talent evaluation is one thing. Someone has to pull the trigger on a pick and own the decision. Dorsey's picks had cajones. Took Peters and tyreek even though they were labeled character issues. Traded up for mahomes. Took dee ford when most labeled him a reach. Even Chris Jones was a little surprising of a pick.
After years of taking safe picks, Dorsey had the balls to go after high positional value players every single year. But I agree with everyone else... I haven't seen reason to believe veech will be worse, so I'll give him that shot. |
