It’s a real argument IMO. Even the best GM’s aren’t perfect. Veach has had two 2nd rd WR’s and thus far have not found a true hit.
I’d argue Mecole was a need pick that happened bc the Tyreek situation unfolded in real time so I can’t give them too much flak for that. Skyy is TBD but his rookie year was filled with struggles. I think it stems from the fact that Andy is an all time great coach and we found Kelce, Tyreek and Hunt previously, so why haven’t we been able to since? It’s an interesting discussion, and I’d argue that Pacheco is just as good as Kareem was. Fortunately Burt has found very talented contributors like McKinnon and Toney for cheap, but the argument for us not hitting on an above average weapon in the draft at WR is absolutely legit at this time |

I seem to remember a late round RB who was a real contributer late last season who has the making for being a stud this season.
But WRs are generally slow to develop in AR's offense and so far the last few drafts don't have a great deal to show compared to the general success at other positions. Is it just the luck of small sample size or a deeper problem or is Skyy and Rice about to prove all that wrong. ![]() |

I'll just repost this shit: Quote:
Maybe give Skyy more than a rookie season when he's burried on the depth chart? Maybe give Toney more than half a season? Maybe wait to see what Rice does? We have 3 young talented WRs and people don't even have the patience to see how they develop. Funny how you bring up no GM is perfect. Everybody is sucking Howie Roseman's dick (rightfull so), but let's not forget that this was also the narrative with him after the Eagles COMPLETELY whiffed on Reagor and Arcega-Whiteside. I mean, Hardman is a grand ****ing slam compared to those guys. Last edited by staylor26; 05-06-2023 at 02:14 PM.. |

Yeah you’re being a homer.
Commenting on the fact that two 2nd rd picks at WR haven’t worked out thus far doesn’t equal saying Veach sucks. It’s just the truth. And in both cases, WR’s we passed on (DK Metcalf/George Pickens) have both worked out quite nicely. We haven’t hit on a WR with two 2nd rd investments at this time. that’s just an undeniable fact. And no chicken littles shouldn’t take that as “omg Veach sucks!!!l”. Like I said. Every GM has at least one position they struggle with. For Veach it’s been finding an above average WR in the draft. And really I hope that changes with Skyy and/or Rice |

So this entire narrative is really built around one ****ing guy. One. That's not a ****ing pattern. Again, ****ing stupid, and you pull this homer shit with me evey ****ing time like it's an argument. This has nothing to do with being a homer, and everything to do with a dumb narrative that is easily taken down with any sort of critical thinking and logic. |

And yea, if Toney/Skyy/Rice all end up being disappointments, then have at it fellas. Then you will actually have something to bitch about.
My only point is that up until the last 2 years, the issue has been a lack of investment, not an inability to find WRs. We finally invested in the position now, and people don't even have the patience to let things play out first. |

I honestly think that Gray and Watson will be taking some of those JuJu touches, along with Rice. We're deeper than folks realize, IMO.
