Yeah..pick the phone up Veach. Malik Jefferson is 6’2” 236 lbs and ran a 4.52 with 27 bench reps.
Buy low on a guy like him and have 3 years of control of his rookie contract.
That’s a hell of a lot better than Ragland and Neimann.

One thing we can say with confidence - IF the staff thinks Jefferson is as good a fit as you do, Veach will absolutely make that phonecall.
That's been the nice thing about him (and yes, Dorsey). They're constantly looking to improve the bottom of the roster instead of populate it with 'their' guys.
If Jefferson is available and Spags wants him, Veach won't hesitate to make a call. I mean hell, the Bengals muffed a couple of kicks against us - why wouldn't you discuss a Tremon Smith/Malik Jefferson swap? I suspect they're content w/ Atkins/Billings in the middle but Xavier Williams might provide depth they'd rather have there than at ILB.
The WR Depth 'problem' has largely resolved itself, IMO and we don't have any real OL depth to trade away. I can't imagine the DE depth will really interest them when they're still looking to get Lawson back out there.
But there might be a way to do this without involving picks. The good news is that I have confidence in this management team to do it if it makes sense rather than simply pass because they're too committed to their failed acquisitions.
