Everything depends on how this draft falls and how Veach ranks this draft class prospects at OT, WR, DE and LB. I don’t care how Veach uses his draft picks because he’s PROVEN to be GREAT at finding talent in the draft. He clearly said in his press conference that he sees this as an especially deep and talented class at WR and OT. I assure you he hasn’t had more than 3-4 hours of sleep every night because he’s watching every inch of tape on these guys he can get his hands on. He has his team will be ready to make moves this draft to secure the most talented prospects he can get for the spots we desperately need infusions of talent at.
I EXPECT LT to be at the top of that list. |

Mentioned this in the draft forum, but I’m warming up to Liam Eichenberg. I mentioned before that many have thought for weeks that he’s the favorite and he seems to be what Andy looks for.
He’s big, strong and very smart but doesn’t play to his length and can struggle against speed rushers. If we sign Okung and sit this dude and have him learn then fine. I could also see him start day 1. He’s not overly athletic but just does the job. He’s “decent” kinda like Fisher i.e. he could develop into a tackle that is quiet and isn’t struggling very often. I’d be fine with that if Andy thinks he’s the guy |

I'm curious (and forgive me if this has come up elsewhere and I've missed it): If Eric Fisher were in this draft, where does everyone think he would be? |

Eichenberg seems to be a high floor player.

Am I going to be excited with Eichenberg at 31? No.
Would I understand it? Yeah. I think he could step in day one as a starter and not have a ton of issues. He doesn’t have a ton of untapped potential. But I’m not sure we can afford to go for that right now. |

Dillon Radunz is WAY more athletic. He is really technically sound and savvy and consistent, according to scouting reports. He might need some time to adjust to the talent level of the NFL. Similar concept on Walker Little. Ballgame changes if they're looking for a guy who can start in Game 1, I guess. But I have a hard time seeing Veach take a "good enough" option. |
