He’s playing so well as an UDFA rookie at a position where guys just simply don’t usually play that well until year 2 or 3.
His upside is extremely high for a guy that’s just a rotational player right now. Him and Jones as our interior pass rushers is going to be unfair for the next few years. [Reply]

And if our 3rd round DT from a year ago has already fallen out of favor that’s not really a good look, so i hope that’s not the case. In a vacuum it’s not that big a deal, but when you factor in the Speaks pick from the year before and Kpass the year before that it’s not ideal if you have almost nothing to show from two 2nds and a 3rd spent on the DL.

CEH, Danna, Sneed, and Wharton all contributed.
And Gay definitely flashed the ability to be a contributor next year.
If Niang comes in and contributes, this past offseason was an A+.
And then you look at the season before - Hardman has contributed (although he needs to develop more). Then you have Thornhill, Fenton, and Alegretti all contributing from that draft.

Veach is doing a great job IMO.
The Hitchens signing also looked much better this year. The only obvious black eye on Brad’s resume is Speaks, but that’s also his first pick as a GM. [Reply]

That was an odd year, too. The scouting department wasn't settled after they let Dorsey go so late in the previous year. [Reply]

Its not just your opinion, its a fact... his eye for talent is elite [Reply]
