Veach has ****ed up by bad drafting in the first 3 rounds.

Speaks was his only pure high round bust. Every GM has misses. Every single one.
Not sure who would have been better with that pick? That Draft was kinda weak around where Speaks was picked. Veach has been outstanding overall. |

I thought the Jones switch to DE would work, but I'm an idiot. Perhaps it's fair to assume it was always Plan B, and that Ingram was asking for too much in those negotiations before settling for less at the Steelers. Perhaps Veach thought it preferable to get someone in early to gel with colleagues. Perhaps he not unreasonably expected Saunders and Wharton to step up. All reasonable, logical reasons for the Reed signing. All I'm saying is it doesn't look like it'll work and it's reasonable to hold Veach accountable for his whiffs as well as his hits. Don't disagree with your conclusion, I guess i just dislike the zealots (not saying you're one) as much as the bed-wetters. |

Let's face it.... veach hasn't been that good so far. Average to slightly above average.
He's very young so hopefully he is learning from his mistakes but anyone saying he has been 'Best GM in NFL,' thus far in his young career is either an idiot or a complete homer. I also think Andy Reid has far more influence on who Veach is picking as compared to when Dorsey was here. Anyone who knows about how Reid did in Philly when he was a GM knows this is not a good thing. |

Yeah Veach is the best; dude neglected the defense in recent drafts and this is the product.

neglected the defense in recent drafts? 2019 1st round pick-traded for Clark. 2019 2nd for Thornhill 2020 2nd for Gay 2021 2nd for Bolton not to mention a 3rd for Saunders, 3rd for Nnadi, 2nd for Speaks, 3rd for D'OD, 4th for Sneed... You can argue the success if you want and I would maybe even agree somewhat, but you cannot say he neglected defense in recent drafts. |

At the end of the day, his job is to acquire players and be able to project how they'll do in the future. Barring injury, why give him excuses when moves don't work out? It's literally his job. It's the NFL, you don't get points for trying. |

Frank Clark was not instrumental in getting us a SB and it is so damn annoying to hear that from you idiots time and time again. You just can't admit that Veach made a huge mistake getting the turd and have to over value some part of his time here.

Clark was THAT good. Also, do you “get points for trying” when it plays a big role in you getting a ****ing SB? JFC you’re dumb. |
