There are likely a few positions you can count out for rd 1 like QB and RB, but beyond that I want to see us take a top talent that slipped who can hopefully hit the ground running and not take 2-3 years to develop like we've seen with several of our recent higher picks.

Some draft picks will “hit the ground running” like CEH, Thornhill, Sneed, Nnadi etc.
Some can be productive in a minor role while they develop like Hardman, Gay, Saunders etc.
Either way, you don’t draft for day 1 year 1. It’s a terrible philosophy with unrealistic expectations. I’ve tried to explain this over and over and you still don’t get it.
I also don’t agree that none of the guys Veach drafted have star potential.
CEH, Thornhill, Sneed, and Gay all have star potential. They’re just still young. Again, your expectations are just unrealistic. There’s a pattern here.
