Interesting, I came away with the opposite conclusion, again trying to work out how full of shit Veach is.

He said they needed competition for Wanya basically, and said it in the same breadth as saying C/G depth. Certainly made that sound like less of a priority than I was expecting, but its not like he is going to trash Wanya to reporters.

I took it as no way they plan for Wanya to be the starter. Him talking about position flexibility makes me think he could really love a guy like Troy Fautanu out of Washington. Fautanu is exactly what Veach described and should go after the top 2 or 3 guys. Trade up might be coming folks!

This! It is a matter of which team will trade with us and how high we can go. He also used the word "INTREST" meaning it will cost us our next years 1st or 2nd to get there. So, the question is, trade up with "who" and which targeted OT?
