Agreed. I think if we can flip a guy that isn't getting snaps, especially close to deadlines, it's valuable to do it, but it's always been so.
I think what surprises me, more than other teams being bad at it, is that it doesn't scale. Late round guys have all the flags or nothing physically. REALLY hard to find value. As you move up the ladder, in the first round there are dudes that SHOULD be easier to project. And at the rate he's hitting late rounders, the dude should NEVER miss in rounds 1-3. EVER.
I think the truth is somewhere in the realm of find a guy with a base level of physical competency and is hungry - then turn that dude over to the coaches. I'm totally guessing, but I think the success rate is more on the staff than Veach - but Veach could sure **** it up if him and the staff didn't have a good healthy reciprocative relationship.
