Veach's draft class has been packed full of contributors this year. It's fascinating how thoroughly he crushed not only the draft but the undrafted market as well.

1st round: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire

2nd round: LB Willie Gay Jr.

3rd round: OT Lucas Niang

4th round: CB L'Jarius Sneed

5th round: DE Michael Danna

7th round: CB BoPete Keyes

UDFA contributors: DT Tershawn Wharton, P Tommy Townsend, OL Yasir Durant

We've got questions still about Niang and Keyes, but everything else looks to be rock solid.

The crazy thing is how many of these guys earned significant playing time. Wharton, Danna, and Sneed all earned a ton of playing time on the defensive side, and they're only going to get a ton better. Sneed could very well end up a Pro Bowler, and Wharton legitimately has Chris Jones upside with a full offseason of strength and conditioning.

As soon as Clyde gets his pass protection down, he's going to become Joseph Addai in this offense.

The 2021 offseason was always going to be a very difficult one, with huge questions emerging at several positions, but the huge success of this draft class is going to make it far more manageable.
