Unless they pull off something like this I just don't think you can sit were we are and get a CB who can start day one. CBs are like QBs and LTs you need to get a 1st rounder if you want a finished product. [Reply]
If Veach is trading up in all their mock scenarios, there must be a highly ranked player or two on their board that keep falling. They obviously target certain players and ask about a price. That seems like a good way to do business on draft day. Any guesses as to who that might be? Lorenzo Carter? Harrison Phillips? Justin Reid? Ronnie Harrison? Anthony Miller? [Reply]

I'm not convinced that there is a player in a position of need, other than CB, that would be worth trading our limited draft stock for. I agree there are some studs out there, but what would it take to get them? The 1st round probably would cost us some next year capital and I'm not willing to let that go.
While Kpass may have been drafted too high, I think he comes into his own this year. [Reply]

They sure have brought in a lot of prospects at that position. An upgrade here is needed. I think it will be Goedert. Move up to the top of the 2nd round.

We got him the week before the season began, which means that he wasn't in our training camp or conditioning programs - he had been in the worst-place Browns'.
I think the jury is still out on the trade, and we can determine at the end of this year if it was a plus, minus, or even.
I think it's too early to call it a misstep, and even if it doesn't work out, we can't really fault Veach for trying.
I agree with this. It looks like he will be on the team this fall too, as his 1.7 million salary is fully guaranteed. [Reply]
